Err... you can already do this with your normal dwarves. It's true! using "i" designate an activity zone for garbage disposal. Then, using "k" begin designating items for dumping.

This requires microcontrol =( I think it's cool to have some stinky pit inside a fortress that's filled automatically.

Plus you might not want to dump all refuse, like bones.

Then.. why not designate a stockpile just for bones, and any other refuse that isn't required by any stockpile should be dumped.

A garbage dump and a refuse stockpile are really the same thing.

Because it's still technically refuse?

I can just imagine the weekly meeting, all the nobles have gathered to discuss the week, the king runs his eyes along the line and sat inbetween the dungeon master in his fearsome attire and the hoardmaster wearing solid gold spectacles theres a short (even for dwaven standards) stinky garbage collector with some fishbones and a withered sweetpos stuck in his beard
