Now, the property-close waste sorting has given us a small problem in the form of needing space for an additional container.
My previous station for three containers needs to be extended by about 50 cm.
I have searched but haven't found much concrete information on how to dismantle a wall bonded with stone adhesive (PU glue) so the stones can be reused.
Maybe it's not worth struggling with this for about 25 stones, and perhaps I should just go and buy new ones, or do you have any valuable tips?

I have searched but haven't found much concrete information on how to dismantle a wall that is glued with stone glue (PU glue) so that the stones can be reused.
Maybe it's not worth the trouble for about 25 stones and I should just break down and buy new ones, or do you have any valuable tips?
not an answer to the question, but I would leave it as is and build an additional compartment to the right for 2 bins. something else may come up or you'll have a small extra space while waiting for the trip to the recycling center or something.

It wouldn't be entirely unlikely if they change again soon.
The problem is that I have a large and beautiful Rhododendron there, so it's a bit difficult to build in that direction.

I saw it, yes, you'd want to leave it as it is. Maybe it will fit with an opening towards the street otherwise, I can't see how much space you have there. Otherwise, I quickly ran the question through AI, which suggested scraping off what's relevant first, possibly heating the glue with a heat gun to make it a bit softer... However, I'm a bit skeptical, let's see if anyone on the forum has experience.

Heating might have worked if it was summer and warm, but now that it's just a few degrees above freezing, I'm afraid it will cool on one end before it gets warm enough on the other...
I'll probably have to start chiseling a bit tomorrow and see if I can save some stones and have it at the bottom.
Today, I took out my small rotary hammer and tried to demolish the wall.
Anyone who insists that size doesn't matter is lying. Since nothing happened at all, I had to bring out the big one...
I worked my way in on the short side and will be able to reuse about 15 of 20 stones with minor defects. I will use these at the bottom and add new stones further up.
Now they need to be cleaned, and I'm considering a wire brush on a drill or an angle grinder before I can start rebuilding.
