ᐅ Temporary sidewalk crossing for demolition work

Hello everyone,
has anyone ever removed a driveway crossing like this themselves and can share tips on how to proceed?
It is probably 50/70 asphalt, then a geotextile fabric, and underneath that, paving slabs.
My idea was to try using an 18kg (40 lbs) demolition hammer on a trolley with a wide chisel, to avoid damaging the slabs beneath as much as possible (although some are probably already broken, so if a few break, it’s not a big deal).

Does anyone have other ideas or advice?
Thanks a lot!
Best regards

And what will you do with the asphalt then?

Valid question. There are waste disposal companies here that accept this as regular construction debris in a container, or sorted by type for a lower price.
Do you have any other ideas on how to proceed?

No, I don’t. I’m also still looking for a way to get rid of it cheaply.
If I wanted to do it myself, I would try using a rotary hammer.
Somehow I was hoping it could be reused.

One could probably use the debris as homemade recycled gravel? I would avoid doing this in an area with heavy load because of the undefined load-bearing capacity, but under a walkway, it should be fine.

So what will you do then, will you have it completely repaved?

In front of my house, it also looks like a patchwork. Our landscaping company said they’re not allowed to pave it because it’s public property...
