Removing carpet is pretty simple if installed on tack strips. Just go to a corner and pull with a pair of pliers. It should lift off the nails and you can continue this process all along the edge of the room. To roll it up you can fiip the carpet and cut it into strips making rolling and disposing much lighter and easier. If the carpet is glued down, the task is more difficult. You will need and ice-scraper to remove the adhesive from the floor.
