Default contaminated ground?

A section of my allotment was used as a fly tip and bonfire site. I've
cleared all the rubbish and started to turn the ground over, I'm finding all
sorts of stuff rusty nail, metal, chipboard and plastic.the soil is a lot
darker with some red lumps which break up when crushed. my question is
should I use this section of ground to grow veg, I was going to plant some
cabbage and kale,or will it contaminant the crop, the allotment is quite
large and there's plenty more ground needs turning over/weeding, so leaving
some of it wont be too bad.
Thanks
Any advice would be appreciated
Paul
