Default Tomato blight

My tomatoes were ruined by blight this year, they were grown in ring culture collars, I have destroyed the plants but can I reuse the compost, ie put it in my compost bin?

Are you talking about fungus? I wouldn't be concerned. My tomatoes have
done better than ever this year resisting fungus. Reason: I stopped all
overhead watering. I kept the plants as dry as possible, only watering
from down low. As a result I still have very excellent tomatoes hanging.
Gonna have a warm week coming up, but have little hope for more after
this week.
