So I thought I know what I was doing but I cannot seem to move these items, ever.  I have tired creating a garbage area dumping them, a storage area for corpses and refuse and it all fails...

Corpses and body parts gets stored in a refuse pile (p > r) but know that the standard order is to ignore refuse from outside, order menu  (o > r > o) to change that.

*edit* and of course, the dead might be set to be Forbidden. (o > F) menu shows what is Forbidden, often "Forbid other non-hunted dead" but I do think that is for people to be put inside a coffin like dwarves, traders and such.

corpse is it's own category in stockpiles 'y'. I always just combine this with the 'r' category.

Ensure they're no forbidden, use d->b->c to reclaim, then designate the whole area.

Go with the outside refuse orders too, but be careful, they can leave your fortress to get a dead bug (try forbidding stuff which is far away, using d->b->f, then designating)

Ahh that is so much better the grounds were just littered with trolls and goblins.  Now how to use these to make something cool...

Easy. Set up custom stockpiles outside your gates/inside the first hallway of your fort that only accept goblin, troll, megabeast, etc corpses and body parts and such. Also elves, if you want that edge in trade.

Those orders only apply at the time of death - they have no effect on any corpses or body parts that already exist.
