I can't wait until we get the green bins up in the NW. We have been composting for a few years, but the rate at which our compost pile grows is faster than the rate of actually getting compost of out it. Also the rate at which we get finished compost is faster than our ability to make use of it. I guess this is more of a curse of having a small yard and a family that eats a lot of vegetables.

I find there isn't any smell associated with it, but we only have a small pail that we fill, and we move it before it starts getting funky. If its summer, once its in the compost pile, we throw a bit of dirt on top and that helps trap the odor somewhat.
