Board of Directors and Shareholders
Industrial Services of America, Inc. and Subsidiary
Louisville, Kentucky


We have reviewed the condensed consolidated balance sheet of
Industrial Services of America, Inc. as of September 30, 2000,
and the related condensed consolidated statements of income and
cash flows for the three month and nine month periods ended
September 30, 2000 and 1999.  These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management.

We conducted our review in accordance with standards established
by the AICPA.  A review of interim financial information consists
principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data
and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and
accounting matters.  It is substantially less in scope than an
audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion
regarding the financial statements taken as a whole.
Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material
modifications that should be made to the accompanying condensed
consolidated financial statements for them to be in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.

      NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles for interim financial reporting and reviewed by our
independent accounting firm.  They do not include all information
and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
principles for complete consolidated financial statements.  The
information furnished includes all adjustments that are, in the
opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the Company's
financial position as of September 30, 2000 and the results of
its operations and changes in cash flows for the periods ended
September 30, 2000 and 1999.  Results of operations for the
period ended September 30, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of
the results that may be expected for the entire year.  Additional
information, including the audited 1999 Consolidated Financial
Statements and the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, is
included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 1999 on file with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.

2.   SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company's operations include three primary segments:  ISA
Recycling, Computerized Waste Systems (CWS), and Waste Equipment
Sales & Service (WESSCO).  ISA recycling provides products and
services to meet the needs of its customers related to ferrous,
non-ferrous and fiber recycling at two locations in the Midwest.
CWS provides waste disposal services including contract
negotiations with vendors, centralized billing, invoice auditing,
and centralized dispatching.  WESSCO sells, leases, and services
waste handling and recycling equipment.

The Company's three reportable segments are determined by the
products and services that each offers.  The recycling segment
generates its revenues based on buying and selling of ferrous and
non-ferrous scrap, CWS's revenues consist of management fees
charged to customers at a percentage of the total service
provided, and WESSCO sales, service, and lease income comprise
the primary source of revenue for this segment.

The Company evaluates segment performance based on profit or loss
before income taxes and the evaluation process for each segment
includes only direct expenses omitting any selling, general and
administrative costs.

ITEM 2:  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

THIS REPORT ON FORM-10-Q CONTAINS STATEMENTS WHICH COULD BE
CONSIDERED FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS WITHIN THE MEANING OF THE
PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995 AND ARE SUBJECT
TO RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES THAT INCLUDE VARYING DEMAND FOR WASTE
MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS AND EQUIPMENT, COMPETITIVE PRESSURES IN THE
WASTE MANAGEMENT BUSINESS, AND FLUCTUATIONS IN THE PRICE OF
RECYCLED MATERIALS.  FURTHER INFORMATION ON FACTORS THAT COULD
AFFECT THE REGISTRANT'S RESULTS IS DETAILED IN THE REGISTRANT'S
FORM 10-K FILING FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999, WITH THE
SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.  THE REGISTRANT UNDERTAKES NO
OBLIGATION TO PUBLICLY RELEASE THE RESULTS OF ANY REVISIONS TO
THESE FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     As of September 30, 2000 the Registrant held cash and cash
equivalents of $1,850,551.

     The Registrant derives its revenues from several sources,
including management services, equipment sales and leasing and
from its recycling operations.  Management services comprised
approximately 69.9% and 71.6% of the Registrant's total revenues
for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999,
respectively.

     The Registrant currently maintains a working capital line of
credit with a bank in the amount of $2,000,000.  Outstanding
principal under this credit facility bears interest at the Bank's
prime rate.  The line matured in September 2000 and has been
renewed. At September 30, 2000, $1,000,000 was drawn against the
line of credit.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     The following table presents, for the periods indicated, the
percentage relationship which certain captioned items in the
Registrant's Statements of Operations bear to total revenues and
other pertinent data:

                                Nine Months ended September 30,

Income from operations ..............   1.1%           1.1%

NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS
ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999

     Total revenue increased 20.3% from $56,212,287 in 1999 to
$67,597,638 in 2000.  CWS sales increased 17.4% from $40,252,754
in 1999 to $47,243,496 in 2000 primarily due to a combination of
new customer sales and growth in sales to existing customers.
Revenue in the

                               11

<PAGE>
recycling segment increased 31.1% from $14,167,388 in 1999 to
$18,569,969 in 2000 primarily due to increases in both volume and
unit selling prices.  This increase is attributed to an increase
in the tonnage of ferrous commodities shipped of 1.2% and non-
ferrous pounds shipped of 25.6%.  Revenue in the equipment sales,
services, and leasing segment had a minimal decrease of $7,972
from three quarters this year compared to the same three quarters
last year.

     Cost of goods sold was $62,312,889 in 2000, compared to
$51,643,069 in 1999, a 20% increase.  The cost of goods sold in
management services increased 15.8% which reflects the revenue
increase of 17.4%.  Cost of goods sold in the equipment sales,
service and leasing segment decreased 3.2% as the mix of rentals
versus equipment sales increased over last year and revenue was
somewhat lower.  Cost of goods sold in the recycling segment
increased 38.2% from $12,276,418 to $16,966,609 due to increased
shipments and higher purchasing costs.

     The gross margin was $5,284,749 representing an increase of
$715,531 or a 15.7% increase from 1999.  The gross margin was
7.8% of revenue, which was 0.3% lower as a percentage of revenue
than 1999.  The gross margin in management services was 6.5% in
the first nine months of 2000 versus 5.2% in 1999.  Gross margin
in the recycling segment was 8.6% in the nine months of 2000
versus 13.4% in the first nine months of 1999.  Purchase prices
of ferrous commodities rose at a faster rate than the selling
prices due to fixed contracts.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 14.7%
from $3,932,126 in 1999 to $4,508,803 in 2000, and as a
percentage to sales, decreased from 7.0% to 6.7%.  During the
current nine month period, ended September 30, 2000, $331,350 in
one-time and non-recurring charges were incurred for separation
agreements, restructuring charges and professional/legal fees.
Without this one-time charge, selling, general and administrative
expenses would have been $4,177,453 or a 6.2% increase from the
prior year nine month period.  The Registrant also incurred
$84,000 in expenses in the nine month period this year versus
last year to staff an information technology department.  The
information technology initiative is to enhance existing computer
systems in order to manage increased revenues and to generate
additional revenues through consulting and software development
sales.

     Net income for the first nine months is $455,860, or a 32.2%
increase compared to  $344,797 for the first nine months of last
year.

QUARTER ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 COMPARED TO QUARTER ENDED
SEPTEMBER 30, 1999

     Total revenue increased 20.9% from $19,696,448 to
$23,810,651.  CWS sales increased  from $13,962,589 to
$17,553,471 or a 25.7% increase primarily due to a combination of
new customer sales and growth in sales to existing customers.
Revenue in the recycling segment increased 10.5% from  $5,161,836
to $5,701,671 due to increased non-ferrous shipments.  Non-
ferrous shipments in pounds increased by 36.3% while ferrous
shipments in tons decreased by 10.0%.  The Registrant was able to
reduce non-ferrous inventory levels by 45% from one year ago.
Revenue in the sales, service, and leasing segment decreased
$16,514 or 2.9% from the third quarter this year compared to the
third quarter last year.  The Registrant has realigned the
staffing in this segment to focus on increased revenues in the
future.


                               12

<PAGE>
     The cost of goods sold was $21,816,762 increasing $3,568,459
or 19.6% compared to 1999.  The cost of goods sold in management
services increased 22.9% which reflects the revenue increase of
25.7%.  Cost of goods sold in the recycling segment increased
11.2% from $4,537,255 in 1999 to $5,047,009 in 2000 which is
proportional to the revenue increase of 10.5%.  Cost of goods
sold in the equipment sales, service and leasing segment
increased 2.5% or $9,695.

     The gross margin was $1,993,889 representing an increase of
$545,744 or a 37.7% increase from 1999.  The gross margin was
8.4% of revenue, which was 1.0% higher than 1999.  The gross
margin in management services was 6.7% in the third quarter of
2000 versus 4.6% in 1999.  Gross margin in the recycling segment
was 11.5% in the third quarter of 2000 versus 12.1% in the third
quarter of 1999.  Gross margins fluctuate depending upon the
revenue mix.  Non-ferrous sales which carry a lower gross margin
outpaced the sales of ferrous items compared to last year causing
a slight decline in the percentage to revenue.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 26.3%
from $1,308,656 in 1999 to $1,653,059 in 2000, and as a
percentage to sales, increased from 6.6% to 6.9%.  Management is
continually examining areas of expense control especially due to
the thin gross margins that exist in operations.  Personnel costs
approach 45% of total selling, general and administrative costs.
Due to increased revenue predominantly in the CWS segment, it has
been necessary to increase headcount to maintain customer
service.  A controller was hired to ensure financial stability in
CWS, an additional salesperson was hired in the equipment
sales/leasing segment and a vice-president of marketing was hired
to target and obtain new business.  The Registrant has also
staffed a new information technology department to enhance
existing software systems, strengthen the web site and pursue
external revenue generating opportunities.

FINANCIAL CONDITION AT SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 COMPARED TO DECEMBER
31, 1999

     Accounts receivable-trade after allowances for bad debt
increased 8.0% or $698,630 during the first three quarters of
2000 due to the increase in revenues during the past nine months.
The Registrant continues to focus on collections of past due
receivables and current outstanding accounts.

     Accounts payable-trade decreased $1,122,599 or 8.2% as a
result of the Registrant's efforts to turn vendor invoices at a
faster rate.

     From December 31, 1999 to September 30, 2000, the
Registrant's working capital increased by $85,216 to a deficit of
$676,306 from the deficit of $761,522. Net assets decreased
$22,591 while current liabilities decreased $107,807.  Although
there was a significant reduction in accounts payable, it was
offset by the borrowing of $1,000,000 against the line of credit.
The Registrant's management will be focused on working capital
during the remainder of the fiscal year. Surplus inventories will
be shipped and the Registrant intends to examine its purchases
carefully to reduce inventory by year-end. The Registrant
continues to improve upon its expense controls to provide the
highest possible levels of operational efficiencies and customer
service.
