J. Bass and Son started out as a very small operation. Jacob Bass bought a horse drawn wagon in 1922 and began trading scrap in Mount Vernon, NY. He ran the business himself until his son Robert joined him, and the business became known as J Bass and Son Inc. In 1950 When Robert was about 17 years old, he purchased the property at 9 Carleton Avenue in Mount Vernon where J Bass and Son is still located to today. Robert then officially entered into the industrial scrap business. In 1980, Michael Bass took over the company, and expanded J Bass and Son Inc to a full service scrap metal and recycling company.
