Your [[dwarves]] will bring mostly animal items to a '''refuse stockpile''', such as [[chunk]]s, [[Vermin#Eliminating_vermin|remains]], [[bone]]s, [[shell]]s, [[skull]]s, [[corpse]]s, raw hides and any rotten items. This helps in avoiding [[miasma]] from rotting items in your fortress, if the stockpile is placed right. | Your [[dwarves]] will bring mostly animal items to a '''refuse stockpile''', such as [[chunk]]s, [[Vermin#Eliminating_vermin|remains]], [[bone]]s, [[shell]]s, [[skull]]s, [[corpse]]s, raw hides and any rotten items.

| − | + | It is useful to keep a [[refuse]] stockpile outside, where no [[miasma]] is created, and/or in an enclosed [[room]] next to your [[butcher]]'s shop to store [[corpse]]s waiting to be slaughtered, prevent [[clutter]], and lock in [[miasma]] from rotting butcher leftovers. Butcher's shops tend to become cluttered very quickly, as a single [[animal]] already "bursts" into many items. | |

Such a stockpile will not create [[miasma]] because nothing in it can rot. |
| − | + | You can provide your stockpile with 2 [[door]]s arranged as an airlock. This will mostly prevent [[miasma]] 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. {{version|0.28.181.40d}} | |

| − | Corpses, chunks, body parts, [[skin]], and food all can rot, emitting [[Miasma|miasma]] when stored on {{DFtext|Dark |#808080}}{{DFtext|Subterranean|#808080}} tiles.

Alternatively, you can dig an open pit down to the [[Z-axis|z-level]] most convenient for you. Light need only touch the tile once for it to become permanently {{DFtext|Light |#ff0}}{{DFtext|Above Ground|#0f0}}, after which you can rebuild the roof. | Alternatively, you can dig an open pit down to the [[Z-axis|z-level]] most convenient for you.
