- 1). Contact your local municipal office to find out where the blacktop must be taken for disposal in your area. Some locations require the blacktop to be recycled. A dumpster or heavy duty truck may be used to haul the blacktop to the proper disposal site.
- 2). Use the jackhammer or hammer drill with a chisel bit to break up pieces of the asphalt. Cut the blacktop into squares and remove each square. Consult the manual for instructions on using these machines, and considering hiring a worker to use them if you lack experience working with this equipment.
- 3). Use the wheelbarrow to move the blacktop pieces to the dumpster.
- 4). Remove smaller blacktop pieces with a rake and shovel.
- 5). Remove the gravel bed if replacing with a lawn or garden area.
- 6). Level the gravel bed with a rake if installing new blacktop, concrete or pavers.
