Dear Shelly Lozinski,
As of 1997 there were no recycling programs set up in either the arctic nor in the Northwest territories of Canada. I suspect that the logistics will make this impossible, unless, backhauling by boat or plane which delivers supplies is contracted to remove recyclables and that this can be made profitable. I would talk with the national Environmental authority:
However, provincial government regulates waste management and recycling affairs, not national government, and the most active provincial government in this field, indeed, the most forthcoming one for all Canadians, has been the Ontario Ministry of Environment and Energy, which may be reached at: http://www.ene.gov.on.ca
