Item 1.  Security and Issuer

          Common stock of Industrial Services of America, Inc. (IDSA)
          7100 Grade Lane, Louisville, KY, 40213.


Item 2.  Identity and Background

          David T. Russell is an individual investor residing in Los Angeles,
          California, and is a citizen of the United States and the State of
          California.  No convictions or administrative proceedings.


Item 3.  Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

          Source of funds is personal investment capital.



Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction

	    The purpose of the share purchases is for investment in a leading
	    scrap recyler. The filer believes that IDSA management is doing an
            excellent job navigating through a difficult stainless steel demand
            environment. IDSA's valuation has been depressed by temporary
	    earnings pressure, an uncertain macro picture, equity market
	    volatility and a lack of sponsorship.


	    Future purchases and sales of IDSA common stock are possible.
	    The filer hopes to work with IDSA's management and Board of Directors
	    to increase shareholder value and raise the company's visibility with
	    prospective investors.  Also, the filer will encourage certain members
	    of the Company's Board to make a more significant investment in the
	    Company's shares with personal funds in order to align their interests
            more directly with the interests of shareholders.
