Chinese elm tree seeds in compost?

It's that time of the year when the seeds from the Chinese elm tree fall down EVERYWHERE. If I don't pick them up, I will have thousands of Chinese elm tree seedlings in the spring. When I sweep these up I dump them in my green trash can, I have this great fear they are going to be too overwhelmingly happy in my compost pile, yet I feel guilty dumping them. Has anybody had good luck putting Chinese elm tree seeds in their compost pile? The trees belong to my neighbors on my right and left.

Have you tried nuking them in the microwave?
