East Lampeter waste disposal firm JG Environmental sold to Dallas company | Local Business | lancasteronline.com
JG Environmental, an East Lampeter Township waste disposal service, has been sold to a Dallas, Texas, company.
JG Environmental’s 50 employees will join the buyer, Shamrock Environmental, the company said in an announcement on Thursday. Financial details of the deal were not disclosed. Lancaster County property records show the JG Environmental’s 202 Greenfield Road facility is owned by MOR Holdings.
Shamrock Environmental provides waste disposal services including treatment facilities in more than 20 states. It is owned by Dallas private equity firm CenterOak Partners.
With the addition of JG Environmental, Shamrock treats over 210 million gallons of liquid waste annually for approximately 2,000 customers. Shamrock CEO Terry Healy said in a written statement that Shamrock’s extensive experience in non-hazardous waste processing, waste management and industrial services uniquely positions it to support JG’s plans for long-term growth in the Northeast.
“The acquisition of JG enables Shamrock to provide comprehensive environmental services on the East Coast from Florida to Pennsylvania,” said Jason Sutherland, a managing partner of CenterOak. “JG’s focus on developing permitted waste processing facilities to meet the recurring service and disposal needs of local customers complements an identical approach at Shamrock.”

Driven by plentiful natural gas produced from shale plays, the United States began exporting liquefied natural gas in 2016 when the Sabine Pass terminal in Louisiana opened and shipped its first cargo. Since then, additional capacity, or trains, have been added to Sabine Pass, and terminals have become operational in Cameron Parish, La.; Hackberry, La.; Cove Point, Md.; and Corpus Christi, Texas. The Energy Information Administration projects that U.S. LNG export capacity will reach 8.9 billion cubic feet per day (Bcf/d) by the end of 2019, making it the third largest in the world, behind Australia and Qatar. The tariff war with China has the potential to impact some final investment decisions for additional terminals in the coming months.
