I plan to keep the green bin in a shadier part of my yard so that it doesn't get too hot and stinky.

As long as you used decent quality bags you should be good. Keeping the bin in the shade helps for the minor spills from tears. The only other advice I can offer is try to put larger items like pumpkins that don't fit in bags in the bin as close to the collection time as possible. Some napkins or paper towels at the bottom of the bin help prevent things from getting stuck to the bottom.
