Industrial Services of America, Inc. (NASDAQ: IDSA), a company that buys, processes and markets ferrous and non-ferrous metals and other recyclable commodities for domestic users and export markets and offers programs and equipment to help businesses manage wastes, today announced financial guidance for the first quarter ending March 31, 2010.

For the first quarter ending March 31, 2010, ISA expects earnings to be in the range of $0.39 to $0.42 per basic and diluted share on revenues between $72 - $75 million. That compares with first quarter 2009 earnings of $0.18 per share on revenues of $24.2 million.

Harry Kletter, CEO and founder of ISA stated, "We continue to operate on all cylinders as our stainless operation continues to expand and our shredder is running near full capacity. As the economy continues to move back to a more normal level from the depressed levels of a year ago we are well positioned to take advantage of the economic improvements."

The Company also announced that the recycling division has begun operations in its 150,000 square foot building which is on our adjoining property to the stainless and non-ferrous operations. The Company recently took back possession of this building and it will be primarily used for stainless steel and high temperature alloys.
