Industrial Services of America, Inc. (NASDAQ: IDSA), a company that buys, processes and markets ferrous and non-ferrous metals and other recyclable commodities, offers waste management programs and equipment to commercial customers and sells used auto parts today announced the sale of the second of two non-essential properties.

On May 18, 2015, ISA sold a 1-acre parcel of non-essential real estate for an aggregate purchase price equal to independent third-party appraisal amount of $350,000. This is the second of two sales of non-essential property that the Company has announced recently.

The Company expects to use the proceeds from both sales for debt reduction and working capital.

“During a very difficult period in the ferrous metal recycling market, these transactions follow our strategic initiatives to strengthen the balance sheet and improve liquidity,” said Sean Garber, President of ISA. He continued, “The ISA team is energized to now focus on the core business and to grow it both organically and through acquisitions.”

This most recent sale was made to SG&D Ventures, LLC, an entity owned by shareholders of Algar, Inc. (“Algar”), including Mr. Garber.

Mr. Garber added, “Algar’s quick purchase of the property further shows my commitment to the long-term success of ISA.”
