Default What To Do With Dirty Weeds

What do you do with what I call dirty weeds. You know the type that if

they
go on the compost heap, they just wait to multiply and spread elsewhere

when
the compost goes back on the garden.
I have usually put a small bag of such weeds in with the weekly rubbish
collection but probably won't be able to do that soon with a change in
rubbish collections. I also read that buried weeds don't break down when
buried in landfill sites.
I believe there are compost bins that turn out a liquid fertilizer. Would
one of these work for problem weeds?


I used to put them all in a carrier bag and then put on the heap when
they've had long enough to die. (Obviously weed seeds have to be avoided!)
In present circumstances I normally just throw them all in their own heap,
then move them to the compost heap when they've had long enough to die.
