You can't.

The only way to do GC is to flush the server or to delete all connected keys.  
But memcache don't provide a list of existing keys so, the only way it would 
be to write down a cache key list. Which is a wastefull operation, not good 
for a cache system.

I suggest you to run a separate memcache demon a another port or to disable 
GC. Since memcache would automatically delete old entries as the memory runs 
out.
