Is there any ways to deal with discarded clothing in fast and efficient way? Preferably abutomate it somehow
Even if i dump the area, they do it pretty slow (with lots of free dorfs) and about a third of scattered items still remain whereever they are. Even cleanowned scattered x, autodump isn't of much help 
And they throw it everywhere... Do i need to mention cloth/goods bins?

So.. what are your method to deal with this problem?

And another note, is it worth to further increase value of the room when its already legendary?


... damn typos. guess i shouldnt post at 2am

I prefer to trade my worn clothes away. They sell for a decent amount of ☼, especially if there are many of them, and can make a fair substitute to trading goods specifically made for trade, eventually cancelling the fortress' primary wealth industry.
Though keep in mind that if the clothes are not home-made, you won't be able to offer them in order to get a Monarch.
Make sure you have enough bins to keep all those clothes if you want them hauled to the depot far more quickly.

I tend to smash a large part of worn clothing

Atom smash. Minecart track will make it pretty automatic. Garbage Haulers AKA merchants.

I create a stockpile to let it all vanish.

1) Clothing stockpile set to accept from links only, attached to clothier's shop (this contains all new cloths) (later in game filter for quality also)
2) Clothing stockpile set to accept from anywhere, lower quality clothing, no bins. Also set as refuse pile accepting no types of refuse. (low quality clothing goes here to vanish)
3) Clothing stockpile set to accept from anywhere, accepts higher quality clothing. This is used for trading, for higher value used clothing that I want to trade.

The solution in my last for was pretty effective at keeping things off the floor automatically.

Track stop next to caravan that dumps onto a clothign stockpile. Put minecart on that track stop and set up hauling route.

Set the route to grab clothing from a separate adjacent stockpile of a few tiles wide. Make sure all clothign you want to grab is unowned and your dwarves will slowly clean it up. By the time I had a fairly large for I had 3 of these setups right next to the trade depot, and I never had any stray socks on the ground outside of these stockpiles. I probably could have handled it with 2 just fine, but 3 seemed good too when I had the extra effort to spare. BTW, they also gather all goblinite for a similar arrangment (gathering non-steel armor and weapons of course), and all of theri clothes.

Well you could always indulge there hoarding behavior. Give your Dwarves extra large personal rooms, give them a bed and a shit-load of cabinets. Since the Dwarves still own the clothes, they'll put them in the cabinets. This is how you play a super nice to the point of being extremely counterproductive Overseer. Fluttershy would be proud.

dfhack.
cleanowned X
autodump destroy

but there isn't any settings for trash quality?

And another note, is it worth to further increase value of the room when its already royal(legendary?)?

what about golden roads?

In the stockpile settings menu you can enable any other stockpile variant; so in this case q -> move cursor to unwanted clothings stockpile -> s -> scroll to refuse -> e -> b

Deal with worn clothing by putting everyone in armor.
