Default Destroying dug up weeds+ seeds

Hello,

I used to throw my weeds into my black pvc compost bin. But my gardener told
me off saying that the compost bin process wouldn't kill all of the weeds
and thus result in their seeds/roots germinating later.

So to be so the safe side, I throw all the weeds, even the ones which don't
seem to have seeds, into the council bio-trash bin.

But how about if I placed the weeds into a tight plastic bag (one of those
new biodegradable ones) and put them in the sun to rot? Then put them into
the compost bin. Wouldn't that way ensure their utter destruction?

Cheers!
