Default Destroying dug up weeds+ seeds

I thought that if you reach the required temperatures then seeds would
be killed off? Composting does produce a bit of heat, but I'm not sure
if it's enough. I was going to ask about this because we just had a
huge pile of weeds removed and it cost hundreds. In future I'd like to
compost them though like yourself, I would like to ensure that all
seeds/roots are completely destroyed!
