My parents used to do that, put all the scraps into a plastic bag

outside
in
the shade and after a while when they started to smell a little they

would
bury them.


Would putting weeds into a plastic bag kill them and kill their seeds or
roots ?


No, not the seeds, there is no heat generated. It should kill the weeds.
Weeds will only re-shoot if you pull them out, then replant them nearly
immediately again.
Tazmans idea sounds pretty good. Weeds will die, no questions asked, and the
seeds may.
