Your Template:L will bring mostly animal items to a refuse stockpile, such as Template:Ls, Template:L, Template:Ls, Template:Ls, Template:Ls, Template:Ls, raw hides and any rotten items. This helps in avoiding Template:L from rotting items in your fortress, if the stockpile is placed right.
A refuse stockpile, or rather, its placing and potential content, poses a surprisingly big challenge. Placed subterranean it will cause fast spreading Template:L, obscuring view and giving dwarves unhappy Template:Ls. Placed above ground, where no miasma is created, it usually forces your dwarves to walk into danger, especially during a siege if they try to collect corpses(The latter can be fixed by changing the "forbid" default settings). Additionally you may want to prevent certain contents like bones from disappearing (this happens above ground), a cause for additional micromanagement.
It is useful to keep a Template:L stockpile in an enclosed Template:L next to your Template:L's shop to store Template:Ls waiting to be slaughtered, prevent Template:L, and lock in Template:L from rotting butcher leftovers. Butcher's shops tend to become cluttered very quickly, as a single Template:L already "bursts" into many items.
It is also useful to keep a subterranean refuse stockpile holding only Template:L, Template:L and Template:L near your Template:L's shop for Template:L and Template:L's shop for making bone Template:Ls. Such a stockpile will not create Template:L because bones and skulls never cause miasma (above ground they will disappear, stockpiled or not).
You can provide your stockpile with 2 Template:Ls arranged as an airlock. This will mostly prevent Template:L from spreading when a dwarf steps through. You can contain miasma completely by building a diagonal entrance to the refuse area, since miasma cannot travel diagonally. v0.28.181.40d
Details
Corpses, chunks, body parts, Template:L, and food all can rot, emitting Template:L when stored on Dark Subterranean tiles. It is important to know where you want to place your refuse stockpile beforehand, as miasma causes an Template:L. Designating a refuse stockpile on any tile with Light Above Ground will prevent miasma, though any items, including Template:L, Template:Ls, and Template:Ls in such areas will occasionally be removed from the game.
Alternatively, you can dig an open pit down to the Template:L most convenient for you. Light need only touch the tile once for it to become permanently Light Above Ground, after which you can rebuild the roof.
