Well, socks and other things made of organic material should be either compostable or else flammable. 

Likewise just having a "throw this away somewhere off-map" shouldn't require Army Arc. 

In real life, we have landfills or litter when we consider anything out of sight to be out of mind.  Dwarves don't strike me as the environmentally conscious type, either.  Just have a task where dwarves go beyond the edge of the map, wait a couple hundred frames, then return sans item to dump.

I like that idea NW.  Actually it might help to make the local Elves (or any other race with [TREE_CAP_DIPLOMACY]) to get upset if you do this too often.

I'd much rather dump it down the caverns.

Oh good Lord, we're already cuttin' down their precious freakin' trees, now we're leavin' shit in the ground?

I have to say I love the idea of having a garbage dump that can compact into walls. They should retain a few items in memory though so you can "shift" through the garbage and find stuff that was once placed there. Would be perfect for adventure mode or reclaims where you're really scraping together to survive. 
Dumping things outside of the map I can't say I'm totally for. I like the world to feel like it's more than just the square I'm colonising. I suppose you could have a "Sim City-esce" system where you offload garbage onto the Hill Dwarves and let those buggers sort it out.

I imagine garbage would be a serious for a group of people living underground. I suppose the best thing to do is to dig a hole, throw some garbage in it and cover it back up and move on.

Actually, composting what you can would be the best solution for people underground... those plump helmets need to grow on SOMETHING, but as long as Improved Farming isn't around, rotting clothing and animal waste parts is just trash to be landfilled.
