Composting pests


What’s the permaculture way of composting or using plant material with pests? I just pruned my maple tree and see that it had scale at some point in the past. Don’t know if any is still living but I have to assume so. I started throwing branches and leaves in my compost pile before noticing, and I was going to use the thicker branches to stake my beans, but I don’t want to risk spreading scale to my backyard either. The internet says get it off the property or plastic bag it. But I have a lot of material. Advice is appreciated!
