Plus if you rent a dump trailer to haul it in, you can load the asphalt into the dump trailer and dispose of it.

This. And maybe find a real professional driver for it. Machines are wonderful at making a very difficult and hard physical labor a snap. One of the "friends of a friend" talked about his neighbor trying to break up a large concrete pad that was left over oil well remains. He had spent days hammering and drilling and pounding. Someone mentioned OERB will come out and remove old oil production sites and restore the land like before for free. He finally called them and they brought the right equipment and had it done in a day.
