Regular full size shovel will come very handy to scoop up the gravel. I am
saying regular full size because I have seen those small garden shovels and
these will be bad for your back. I also remember when I did removal of such
roof we used big plastic tube that went directly to the dumpster but it was
a 3 story building. For a garage I don't think you would need any tubes but
I would protect the wall somehow.
