Medical - Medical: Pharmaceuticals / Laboratory batch reports
German term or phrase: Liegendauswurf
I am translating a pharmaceutical batch report. The term 'Liegendauswurf' appears in a sub-step of the 'cleaning of the vial washing machine' step in the following context:

'Entfernen von Glasbruch und Entleeren der Auffangwannen für *Liegendauswurf*'

I know 'Auswurf' means 'discarded/rejected matter' but I am unsure how to translate 'liegend' in this context.

settled debris


Explanation:
This is what came to mind. When I googled the expression, it appeared mostly in context for removing sediments from a gas tank, a pool, and a water catchment.

horizontal discharge


Explanation:
How I understood this. If you are dealing with vials, I assume they are longer than they are wide, so this would describe pushing them out sideways.
