I have no idea how to automate garbage collection without this feature.

You can use a minecart stop taking from a stockpile on normal floors to dump down a shaft.  It works the same as a minecart quantum stockpile except the destination is a shaft instead of a single tile stockpile.

Dwarves will chuck stuff down holes at the side of dump zones.
I forget how to make it work exactly. Nice when it does. Could do with being clearer. The whole refuse/corpse/dump zone thing gets me confused whenever I haven't played for a while.

the problem with dumping is that, (as far as i know) you have to manually designate things for dumping, unlike refuse stockpiles where your dwarves just automatically haul them.

Dump zone goes on top of the Refuse pile.
