The typical fee for disposing of an old tire when you purchase a new tire at a tire shop is $1-$3 per tire. The fee is regulated or determined by the state, county or city in some places and it appears the national average is just over $1 per tire. It also appears that the larger the tire the higher the disposal fee.
Yes, balancing is matching the tire to the rim. No two tires or rims are exactly the same and so balancing is always required when mounting a different tire to a rim.
The goal of tire balancing is the make sure that the weight of the tire is even around the axle. This can be done by auto mechanics, and should be done every 4,000-6,000 miles.
It's probably shaking a lot because it needs its balancing done. Most tire stores like "Tire Works" will do your balancing for around $30.
There is no schedule for tire balancing; it is completely dependent on usage and need. For the averages, a tire can survive for its entire life without the need for balancing again; this average says you have never overloaded the tire, let it set too long without driving, caused the tire to spin (loose traction), skidded, etc. The smart way to deal with this is to purchase lifetime balancing, and return to the original place of purchase to have them rotate the tires, and check the balance at the same time (7,000 miles or so).
Tire balancing is when you have the front tires and the rear tires on your car switched. This is done so the balance of air in each tire stays the same. You can do this at almost all tire and car shops. You can call to compare different prices to ensure you get the best.

Not the whole answer but just called a discount tire place. They charge $12.50 per tire for balancing.
tire balancing is when the tire is spin balanced so it wont vibrate when you drive down the road.tire alignment isn't really aligning the tire as much as it is correcting the components of the front end so that the tires are straight up+down and side to side.when this is off it will cause premature wear of the tires.
Wheel balancing weights are made from lead.
Balancing of tire/rim.
All wheels require balancing once the tires are put on, The wheel may be manufactured perfectly but its the tire that has imperfections and causes the whole assembly to need balancing.
