What to do with asphalt?

I have about 1,000 square feet of 7 year old asphalt that is in good shape. The only problem is it is not where I want it. It is right at my garage/turn around area and I really want to rip it up and replace with concrete. Only problem is I hate to landfill the stuff. I have a 1,000 square feet of driveway that could really use this asphalt. Now, I know I cannot move the stuff. But, I was wondering if I could pull it up with my Bobcat bucket and place it in the driveway. I could scarify the existing crusher-run drive really deep first so the asphalt may have a chance to embedd itself in the gravel. Anyone ever done anything like this? Ideally, it would come up in chunks the size of golfballs and would pack nicely into my crusher-run drive. I hear of a grinding process but I am not interested in spending any money on it. Is there any way to pulverize it using only tools generally found around the house? (Bobcat, 8N, implements, etc?

Thanks in advance for the advice.

I knew a guy that took chunks of asphalt and layed them out on a dirt drive like a jigsaw puzzle, this was on a hot summer day, darn stuff blended together and made a pretty good driveway after a few hot days and driving on it.

Is there a gravel plant nearby where you can run it through the rock crusher? Then spread it over your new area.

Hi David,

Our County here in AZ recycles the asphalt for use on low volume seconday roads and patching. They have a out fit come in and mix the stuff for them a couple times a year.

I've never been able to drive by when there doing this so I don't have a idea what there doing to recycle it. They do let private owners haul to there pile to dump used asphalt tho. You might inquire with your State to see if they do the same.

Landfilling old asphalt is illegal- Federal Law. Good news, the Bobcat can be used with the bucket lip or (preferably) teeth under the edge of the ashalt and will break it into manageable pieces. Just spread those pieces, however large, around in a single layer on your gravel drive. Traffic will soon break the asphalt into fine pieces.

you can rent a small grinder for the bobcat if ya got the extra hdy. on it but it will take ya a while to grind it up and move it

If you have an asphalt company nearby stop in and talk to them. If they are working in your area they will probably do it for you reasonable, if they are good people.
They one one on our highways here, takes about 2-3 inches off the top and puts it back into the gravel state. They always have more than they want to recycle so they bring us 30-40 ton a year and i spread it with the front blade on the 4020 around the pole barn and shop. Its packed back down now like it was laid there for a highway, tractors dont even tear it up much.
