  Balli Steel Vice President David Bell said when the economic crisis occurred, commodity prices for steel dropped almost 80 percent.
  
  "Right now, recycled steel is worth basically nothing, whereas before it was at least worth enough to process and sell," he said. "We believe that this is a structural and long-term problem."
  
  Bell said the program would remain open through Dec. 31, which is when it was originally scheduled to end.
  ...
  Bell said the government ran out of funding for the cleanup but mayors insisted the company continue its work.
  
  "So we did and we came up with a solution. At the time, the commodity prices were such that we could continue to work with the mayors without requiring any funding and still make a small margin and keep our guys employed," Bell said.
  ...
  Bell said, "We believe that the new legislature, given the parameters and given what we know has happened in the commodities market, will have to address this issue because of the consent decree to close the Ordot dump and we have waste diversion systems that need to be filtered up.
  
  "None of that stuff is now possible," he said. "If steel prices have collapsed, that means cardboard prices have collapsed. That means plastic prices have collapsed. That means paper has collapsed," Bell said.

  David Bell, director of public policy and communications for the Green Island Alliance, said the intent of Monday's meeting was to develop relationships with different companies in the shipping and recycling industry to partner with the recycling initiative.
  
  Green Island Alliance is a non-governmental organization funded by the U.S. EPA and partnering with the Pacific Islands Regional Recycling Initiative.
  
  "People make money on metal and scrap but not much with tires, paper, plastic and glass," Bell said."There's not that much money involved, so we have to work together using public policy and private partnerships to make (recycling) feasible."
  
  Bell, who also is vice president of Balli Steel Guam and Balli Steel Saipan, said partner companies like Balli Steel and Ambyth Shipping and Navigation are looking for ways to make the recycling initiative cost-effective, if not profitable, for the participating companies.
  ...
  Between January and July, Balli Steel collected about 10,000 pieces of white goods -- including home appliances, televisions and air conditioners -- and more than 6,000 junk vehicle parts that are to be shipped off island and sold as scrap, Bell said.
