Can I use leftover builders sand mixed in with compost for my herbaceous borders ?

You could wash it, which is not as hard as is seems. Put the sand into a large container like a builders bucket and put a hosepipe into it. As the water flows over the edges of the container mix the sand around with a spade. This should flush any soluble impurities out.

Not advisable - builders sand, especially if its not washed builders sand, contains a fair amount of lime.
