Default Manure too fresh?

I have had 40+ open bags of horse manure delivered today, Sunday. So it is
not quite retail.
It is not rotted and looks like it was "laid" 3 or 4 weeks ago.
Ok, I got it for free but was wondering what I am going to do with it.
I think it is not weedkiller infested because there is some grass or
something growing in some of them.
What to do? I don't have a big enough area to compost it.
Dig it in or bin it?


We had some of that a few years back. Stacked the bags for a year behind the
shed (which also acted as weed supressant - although they did grow back a lot
stronger after the bags were removed!) and it was great when we wanted to use
it.

Are you sure you don't have an unused shady corner that you could pop it onto
for a while?
