There are not recycling bins in Ocean City. All waste goes in the trash container. However, metals included in waste are removed and recycled at the disposal site. You can read more about Ocean City's 2010 decision related to recycling here.

I've seen plenty of people on the bus with chairs. They sit them in front of their knees, or hold them on their laps.  I've even seen them hold them beside them in the aisles, but that is frowned upon by riders who are standing. I would say it pretty much depends on the size of the chair.

I have stayed right at 64th Street for several years (both in the Surfcaster and Surf's Edge). There is lots of free street parking in this area and I have never had trouble finding an extra spot (except sometimes on Saturday mornings). I left one car on the street for a week this year with no issues. Just be sure to look at the signs. Some spots in this area have restricted parking times to allow for trash pickup and street cleaning (especially 63rd Street)

Parking on the side streets near the boardwalk is free north of 10th Street.

That is the address for the Carousel Resort. It is right on the beach so you are just a couple of hundred yards from the edge of the ocean! I stayed at the Carousel last spring, and it is a great place

The Carousel has lots of on-site amenities including a restaurant, indoor pool, and an ice skating rink. You can easily walk to three shopping centers and to lots of places including a Food Lion, CVS, Wawa, Hooters, Ice Cream Castle, McDonalds, Dumsers, Mini Golf, Dunkin Donuts, Northside Park and several restaurants. All are within 8 blocks of the Carousel.
