Started a fort in 40a.  Sometime in the second year I noticed miasma forming in the middle of a non-refuse stockpile (it was probably from dead vermin, darn cats).  This seemed odd since I had more than one non-full refuse stockpile designated, and I had a number of dwarfs idle who should have picked up the vermin corpse.

I checked to make sure my Dwarfs had the proper tasks enabled, they did, and that the proper Orders task was enabled, it was.  I started looking around the fort and saw bone and shell and dead vermin in several places.  My Dwarves had stopped collecting refuse.

I next looked at the job list and there were no refuse jobs there. So, despite what my title says (I just had to write it that way), the real issue appears to be that no refuse jobs are being generated.

Vanilla fort, only thing I changed from standard was pop cap.  I didn't do anything unusual nor did any other unusual events happen.

Is there any particularly good reason it should?

That's interesting and I'll check that when I next play.

Of course, that's not the whole issue for me since my dwarfs are also not picking up remains of food.

Well, I checked and nothing my dwarfs aren't cleaning up is forbidden.  It also doesn't look like that vermin killed are auto forbidden either.

Further update: I had a couple of goblin ambushes get inside my fort. Once my military killed them, my dwarves did clean up the dropped equipment, but won't pick up the bodies, or the bones once they decay.
