How can I take out items from a container?
I have a few bins with finished goods like toys, rings, scepters and the like inside, but they also have items that I don't want to sell (crutches, rope, soap, splints, etc). Currently they're in a stockpile in which I disabled those types of finished good, but no dwarf takes them out of there.
It makes trading a bit more annoying , because I can't trade the whole bin. So, how can I take them out?

Probably the easiest you can do without much future hassle is to manage your stockpiles in a more fine-grained manner - set one or more finished goods stockpiles to accept only the crafts you want to be in the bins (rings, scepters, toys, whichever you need). But don't forget to also set up stockpiles to accept the rest of the finished goods, sans the desired crafts.
And I think you are aware, but trading the whole bin also trades the bin itself, so if you're short on wood and metal, it might not be the best idea.
