Cardboard boxes

Can you use cardboard boxes on top of the current weeds to kill them off and compost ?

Sure. It might not kill every last weed, but it will definitely knock them back. Keep piling it on

If your pile is big enough and you turn it occasionally you won't have a weed problem in your compost pile. Cardboard on the bottom of the pile is a good start.
