Default compost or horse manure?

Our local land fill is offering compost for ten dollars per ton. Now originally, I was pretty excited about that, and had planned on making a few trips out there so I could put some of that good stuff on my vegetable garden.

Now, my question is, since I dont really know where this compost came from, could it be full of chemicals from lawns? Or would the chemicals dissipate away as the material was composted.

My other option is that I have access to a lot of horse manure. I'm thinking I may skip the compost and go with a little horse poo instead. What ya all think I should do?
