Easier to just wash it out every day once it fills up.

You don't have a problem with flies and such? I used to live in Hungary and people there often didn't bag stuff first and the bin was so smelly and disgusting and covered with flies and other bugs it was awful to walk by it. Now, this was an open bin for an entire building, and people threw all garbage into it, so maybe that wouldn't happen with a closed bin for my house only, but I'm worried the green bin will get disgusting in a hurry if it's full of loose food scraps and dog poop.
Keeping scraps loose in a kitchen bin that I can empty and wash daily doesn't sound as bad.
