Yes they came with instructions. I guess I was thinking outside the
container. I could put greens in but I was afraid of a bad smell.

Using the trash can full of grass clippings as an example, the bad smell
comes from deep in the contents, not the surface. You won't be putting a
layer that deep into the compost bin. This is also why you can sprinkle a
1-2" layer of grass clippings alongside plants as a mulch, with no smell.
