Check with your carpet installer in advance to determine who is responsible. If you are supposed to take care of it you should check with your city for guidelines on what you need to do for them to pick it up. Another thing you should to to prep for carpet replacement is vacuum your old carpet. This might not make sense to you but the reason you want to do this is to minimize the mess that is spread around your house when they rip this old carpet up.

Try to do any painting jobs a few days before the installation to allow for sufficient drying time.
That is all there is to do to make sure you have a smooth carpet install. For more information call your installer and find out what they would like you to do. They will be happy to tell you and you will both be assured a smooth installation job.
