Quite. two people, one long crowbar and a sledge hammer. Once you have
got under an edge(*) just prise it up a few inches and whack it with
the sledge, at a point where it has no support underneath. Concrete is
excellent in compression but next to useless in tension, thats why you
have to put reenforcement into it for areas that are in tension.


True, but use a digger. Then you won't have to carry all the bits into
the skip.



(*) That might be the bit you need a power breaker for but a cold
chisel an lump hammer will do.
