Darkflagarance has the idea for you to use some way to wall off the area from the outside. To help, build a dwarf atom smasher on the inside, near the entrance, with a storeroom for standard finished goods, armor, headwear, etc. Once you collect all the gobby stuff, dump it into the smasher, if magma use is prohibited, or just mass dump designate the junk without storing it first.

When fort conditions permit, I try to set up an entranceway that can be flooded to push goblin corpses and their gear down a few levels onto some grates.  This requires a bit of a complicated setup, as 7/7 water doesn't push items, so you want to connect your pumps to a repeater to keep non-full water tiles moving through the area in pulses.  Keep the push distance as small as possible and make sure there aren't any corners, and it works very well. 

What you do with the stuff once you've gathered it up onto a small bunch of grates is up to you, you can have haulers pick over it in complete safety, you can atomsmash it, so on.  I usually try to avoid atomsmashing, so I put the collection grates next to my trade depot, reclaim all the metal and bones, then give all the muddy, bloody goblin clothes to the next human caravan to happen by.  It keeps their greedy paws off my actual valuables and gets rid of the lag-inducing items.  A few macros for designating and selecting a screen full of goods for trade help, of course.

Well, if you go here then that is a great idea of disposing of all non-iron stuff.    http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=67267.0
