April 16, 2025 @ 6:30 pm - 7:30 pm

Join us at the Newfields Town Hall on Wednesday, April 16, at 6:30PM for a talk on Everyone’s Trash: One Man Against 1.6 Billion Pounds, by local NH author, Duncan Watson.

Register here.

Watson’s book won the Wild Card Category of the 2024 NH Book Awards and has a starred review from Booklist. 

Using stark statistics and relatable humor, “Everyone’s Trash” redefines everyday waste by paving the way for dramatically increasing our recyclables.
The technology is available to make recycling cost effective. In “Everyone’s Trash,” recycling clearly makes “cents.”
As Watson, says, “More people in America recycle than vote. Recycling is more popular than Democracy!” With innovation and know-how, a cleaner, greener community can be ours.

Watson is an expert on recycling and solid waste disposal and is the Assistant Director Public Works at the City of Keene where he has been for over 32 years. Watson will share his insights and vision for the future of waste management.
