Yes they're safe to eat and the Counci tip is the best place for
them. You
shouldn't compost them just to be on the safe side

For preference burn them. If they do go to the local amenity site,
put
them in with the general waste rather than the garden waste, which
is
sometimes recycled into compost.

Actually, this does raise a rather serious point. My council makes
good compost and I use lots of it. What if unthinking gardeners put
diseased plant material in the garden waste skip?
Does any urgler know what, if any, checks the councils do to try and
minimise the redistribution of diseased vegetable matter?
