Might vary by municipality but good rule of thumb is to trash invasives once and for all.

Our trash won't be picked up if they see any yard waste in the trash can (MoCo)

I do throw english ivy in the ward waste bin.

You have to put it in a regular trash bag.

I wish there were a better answer on this too. I assume the composting is at a high enough temperature to kill anything, but would like to know for sure. The only thing I bag up and put in the trash is the occasional poison ivy. I'm constantly pulling out ground ivy (AKA creeping Charlie) from my yard and always throw in the yard waste bin, but it is considered invasive.

Good luck getting it picked up.
