📰 News we're reading

• Rockland Joins 12-Town Hazardous Waste Depot for $2,400 a Year, With an October Deadline to Save It (southshore.news subscription) — Rockland's Select Board has voted to join a 12-town agreement for a permanent hazardous waste depot at Hanover's transfer station, adding about $2,400 a year to the town's costs. If all 12 towns don't sign by mid-October, the project dies, so residents' future disposal options and potential copay fees will hinge on those remaining approvals.
   

• High school roundup/scores: Randolph rolls behind Syesha Walker's four goals (bostonherald.com) — Rockland High's golfers fell to Norwell and the girls soccer team topped Hull 4–1 in a busy day of South Shore high school action. The roundup also highlights results for many neighboring schools, offering a snapshot of how Rockland's rivals and regional opponents are performing this season.
