Arabic translation:الحثالة المهملة او (نفاية المعادن المهملة)ا
Explanation:
dross means:
Dross is a mass of solid impurities floating on a molten metal or dispersed in the metal, such as in wrought iron. It forms on the surface of low-melting-point metals such as tin, lead, zinc or aluminium or alloys by oxidation of the metal(s).

قاموس الخطيب يترجمها كدارة أو حثالة او خبث (المعادن) ا

I think "Lift over" is a typo for "left over" which means:

"neglected, obsolete, negligent, waste"

مخلفات - نفايات - بقايا - نفاية متبقية


Explanation:
Leftover: بقايا (خاصة بقايا الطعام)
Dross:نفاية - شوائب المعادن
In your example, I think either of نفايات - مخلفات fits perfectly.

Example sentence(s):
  • هذه الأفكار هي من مخلفات القرن التاسع عشر
  • قام بتقديم مخلفات الطعام للقطة
