Cleaning up unused dependencies with pacman?

Hi,

I've skimmed over various parts of the man page for pacman, however I can't figure out how to clean up old dependencies. Basically, I've uninstalled several packages in the past, but the dependencies for those packages were never cleaned up. Doing "sudo pacman -Qdt" gives me a list of all of the packages that need to be removed. Now I just need a command that goes through that list and removes each one. How can I do this?
