When the bindweed is about 6"tall, bundle the shoots

gone.


don't pull the plant out of the ground first like Someone I know, did
when i tried to tell them how to kill bindweed i went back to find
several jam jars with bindweed stems neatly coiled up in the jars

You can put them stems or as much as you can gather up, into a plastic
bag, spray the gylsophate inside the bag and then seal up the end and
lay back on the ground.
However I rather suspect you have bindweed now rampant amongst your
perennial plants so you will have to be careful not to tip the jars or
spray the plants whilst dealing with your bindweed!
