Due to the rot bug it just keeps piling up... I am going to have to come up with a better solution then massive refuse piles
Any Suggestions ?

[Blackburn]

Obligatory but still useful suggestion...

Magma.

[Unshaven]

I don't have any 

[Rotten]

Dump it all under a raised bridge.

Lower bridge.

Atomsmash out of existence.

Also nice corpse collection. Goblin ambush?

[Blackburn]

I don't have any 

Keep digging until you find some.

I found a neat cavern but no magma.. do all maps have magma now ?? Ya I get alot of goblin ambushes for some reason.. if you notice the stockpile of what looks to be empty cages ... they aren't those are actually all full goblins. I am currently working the creation of a large pit to toss all the little buggers in.. thankfully I caught a colossus which I plan on releasing at the bottom to do all the dirty work.

Players generally find an entire sea of magma beneath the second system of caverns, which is obviously below the first system.

It's really deep down there, I suggest building a pump.

That Bridge Idea sounds like what I need .. I have a bridge already setup on the side of my fort as a back door. also I figured the dwarves would like to way to exit the fort that wasn't as smelly.

There are three cavern layers unless you change the settings in world generation. If you only saw two, it means you missed one somewhere on the way down. The Magma sea is under that.

Also, atom smashing is the right way to go until the next release. Quantum dump it all into a two tile atom smasher in it's own special little room, stick the lever in your meeting hall, and have someone pull the lever twice every couple of months.

Oh, OK. I must've mixed up numbers.

Bridge lever and room construction shouldn't be a problem.. but I am not sure what you mean by Quantum dump. Do you mean create a regular garbage zone ?

Edit also.. speaking caverns I noticed since I broke into the first one that all sorts of random tower caps, Fungie wood and other things have started to grow in my fort.. in seemly random places... though more on my farming level then anywhere.. here take a peek this is directly under my Hall of Garbage. (is this new ??)

Doesn't seem to grow up though flooring though.. Uh if your wondering why I have grass down and tree's down there too.. there we some pretty big collapses when I was trying to create a underground greenhouse for above ground farms... The grass can be farmed with above ground crops so I would say somewhat successful.

Yes. He means that a one-tile garbage zone violates physics by being able to hold an infinite number of items without running out of space.

The way I do it is to designate the dump on the z-level above the atom smasher, and make sure there's a hole down into the smasher. Dwarves will drop them into the hole and onto the smashing ground.

That sounds like a solid plan I'll try that as well.

Those fungi etc grow there because the ground is soil. Once you discover the caverns plants will start randomly plopping up on underground soil layers. You can use this to your advantage by digging out a large area in soil and using this for an underground forest, if you feel that it is too dangerous to venture outside to chop down trees (due to animals, goblin ambushes etc). If you dont want them in your fort (they will probably be trampled, but if they grow up they can block stuff for your dwarves) build floors everywhere on the soil.
