Title says it, we just upgraded to Unleashed and i usually start with a filter filtering out all the cobble and dirt and what not into some lava to allow my turtle to keep mining while i do other things or when im offline.. since the filters aren't in Unleashed is there any easy solution?
Replacement for the RP2 filter?

buildcraft wooden pipe with redstone engine pumping out of the chest your turtle dumps in, then to diamond pipe with filter path for cobble and dirt which sends to void pipe, and finally a stone or cobble pipe to your ores chest or ender chest and back to base.
Insertion Pipe + Barrel. It'll store 64 stacks of whatever single item you feed it. More than enough to get you to the point where you can build some DSU's which can store some two BILLION items of the same type.
Can also use an Emerald Pipe instead of a Wooden Pipe to only remove specific items from the chest. Only problems are the price and if you set it to more than one item, it'll only bother if all items are present.
How can that be used, out at someone's first turtle excavation site, to delete excess cobble and dirt?
Yeah, I once saw someone ask "I've got an Interface here and an Export Bus there but it's complicated, how can do this thing in an elegant way..." and someone answered "Elegant? Use AE!"
Well realistically, you can achieve total inventory management automation through AE. In your case, AE might even be more optimal. Instead of throwing away all of your cobble/dirt you may use an ME level emitter to allow you to choose a certain amount to keep in the system and then allow the system to recycle/throw away the rest.
This would mean that your system would auto-replenish your stockpile should you ever require any cobble/dirt. All you'd have to do is:
(a) Attach an export bus to a recycler or an external storage device. In this case you will need to manually pump out the dirt/cobble using a RS engine or an autarchic gate. This will make your system send whatever you need to be recycled/thrown away to the "throw away" system.
(b) Point an ME level emitter towards the export bus and set it to whatever number of cobble/dirt you'd like to keep in your system, then set the signal to "emit if above". Then change the RS signal option on the export bus (top right of the GUI) to "active with signal". This set up will activate when you system detects a volume of cobble/dirt in the storage that exceeds your set amount.
Voila. Every time you require cobble/dirt, simply take it out of the system. The system will automatically replenish your stockpile as it continues mining and once it exceeds your preset amount, it will continue to dump it all away.[DOUBLEPOST=1376988250][/DOUBLEPOST]Adding to point (a), should you choose the external storage option, you will need to pump those contents into a void pipe or something similar.

I think the question is coming from a position of not yet having enough quartz to do anything with AE, possibly not even gone to the Nether yet. When I start a new world I race down to diamond and redstone level, make a mining turtle, and set it off to excavate in 8x8s into a double wooden chest. Importing all the cobble and dirt into an AE system at that stage of the game isn't really an option.
If your rolling with unleashed, try automatic wood pipes with an item router from mfr.
The item router is cheap no diamonds required, just a little redstone and plastic.
Automatic wooden pipes are just like a wooden pipe with a redstone engine, I believe they are also toggle able with a switch and require no engine to operate.
