odd lumber

"débits à dimensions spécifiés" are NOT recoverable, hence their status as "débris". They are site-specific and have to be scrapped and reprocessed to by recycled by the industry. "Dimensions spécifiées" are non-standard, i.e. not readily recyclable. "Odd lumber" is the E. term for this.

cut to size

cut to size according to your requirements

débit as in débiter: to cut up, saw up
Peer comment(s):

agree lestertrad : as opposed to lumber in standard dimensions; already cut to size for a specific purpose

neutral Ariser : In line with the sentence/context, shouldn't this be "cuttings with specified dimensions?" The list is an enumeration of materials.
