Leavings
Not Always Negative
Leavings can simply mean unused items, not necessarily something undesirable or bad.
I saved the leavings from craft time to use in another project.
Cleanup Context
Often used in situations that involve cleaning, like after an event.
The janitor swept up the leavings of the day's trade show.
Abundance Implication
Suggests there was plenty of something if there are leavings.
The wedding was so plentiful, even the leavings were enough for another meal.
