So we are spending $700 M to save $100 M.
The only way this makes sense is for the environmental aspect.
Now, for those of you who use this already, how does your waste go into the green bins? Just loose and stinky, or can you put it into plastic bags? (Or some sort of special bag?)

In Ottawa and Halifax, it depended on what we wanted to do. Little steel bucket under sink (from lee valley I think?) we just tossed that in loose, then loose into the big green bin. One of the cities gave us little tiny green containers and I think we used the brown bags. Worked just as well. Really its personal preference I think; as long as what you throw into there will compost...
