    Always check the walls with a magnet as some may be aluminum. Round pools are easy. Cut the liner around the inside with a box cutter, remove the top rails and support posts. Cut wall in four sections, roll them up, tie them and put in vehicle. Hopefully you get the pump too. The liner I bag up and let the owner put out with the trash.

    Oval pools are a PIA !!! There are support plates and brackets under the pool. Bring a shovel and long pry bar along for the job. I would definitely charge to remove an oval pool. $100 minimum starting at one that is 12 ft long and go up from there. Trust me they are a ***** to do!
