SEGMENT INFORMATION
Prior to December 4, 2015, the Company’s operations included two primary segments: Recycling and Waste Services. The Recycling Segment ("Recycling") provides ferrous and non-ferrous recycling in four locations in the Midwest. The Waste Services Segment ("Waste Services") provided waste disposal services including contract negotiations with service providers, centralized billing, invoice auditing, and centralized dispatching. Waste Services also sold, leased, and serviced waste handling and recycling equipment, such as trash compactors and balers to end user customers. On December 4, 2015, the Company sold substantially all assets of the Waste Services Segment and discontinued those operations. The assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and cash flows of the Waste Services Segment are disclosed in Note 15 - Discontinued Operations.
The Company’s two reportable segments were determined by the products and services that each offers. Recycling generates its revenues based on buying and selling of ferrous and non-ferrous, including stainless steel, scrap metals and automobile parts. The Company's ISA Pick.Pull.Save used automobile yard is considered a product line within Recycling. The Company purchases automobiles for the yard through auctions, automobile purchase programs with various suppliers, and general scrap purchases. Retail customers locate and remove used parts for purchase from automobiles within the yard. Fuel, Freon, tires and certain core automobile parts are also sold to various vendors for additional revenue. All automobiles are sold as scrap metal after a specified time period in the yard.
Waste Services’ revenues consisted of charges to customers for waste disposal services and equipment sales and lease income.
