Okay, I did a little poking around, searched, and checked the wiki and couldn't find anything like this. If it's already suggested somewhere under a diffrent name I couldn't think of, sorry.

Right now, if you have a barrel full of unwanted whatever, (fat, 2 beer, etc) or else a bag breeming with pigtail seeds, you only have 2 options, dump the offending container, or go through and dump individual items (which may/maynot work for the beer issue). I would probably make a lot more sense to be able to make a container with an "empty" designation. Once marked a dwarf would come by, pick up the offending barrel/bin/bag/quiver/etc haul it off to the nearest dump and start dropping the contents off one by one (to account for flat dump sites).

I think the best way to then handle various issues that would pop up (like running out of dump room) would be to un-flag the container whenver it's either emptied, or there's nowhere left to empty it.

A sort of side effect to this that may/maynot be entertaining is properly handled dump-to-lava occurences. Right now, the only thing I know of that burns when dropped into lava without vanishing first is raw hide. More things there means needing chimneys, booze boil outlets, etc. and would otherwise be fun.

...why would a burning hide interrupt dump-to-magma?

It wouldn't. But it does irritate underground dwarves to have the smoke fly up int thier faces. I probably shouldn't have ranted quite so much and lost a bit of the meat of the post.
