SUMMARY:Everybody's Trash
DESCRIPTION:Everybody’s Trash is an engaging and thought-provoking presentation by Duncan Watson\, author of the award-winning book Everyone’s Trash. Drawing on more than 33 years working in municipal waste management with the City of Keene\, Watson takes audiences behind the scenes of recycling\, refuse\, and the often unseen systems that shape our daily lives. \nBlending personal storytelling\, humor\, and practical insight\, Watson traces his journey from a childhood recycling attendant to a leader who helped build a nationally recognized waste management facility in southwestern New Hampshire. His talk explores the history and current realities of waste disposal in the United States while emphasizing the deeply human side of the work—highlighting the people\, values\, and community connections found even at the “dump.” \nMore than a technical discussion\, Everybody’s Trash is a reflection on civic responsibility and shared stewardship. Watson challenges audiences to rethink their relationship with waste\, demonstrating that ambitious goals—like diverting up to 80% of materials from landfills—are achievable without increasing costs. The presentation leaves listeners informed\, inspired\, and empowered to see waste not as an individual problem\, but as a collective opportunity for connection\, compassion\, and community action. \n\nWho is Duncan Watson? \nDuncan Watson grew up in Northern California but found his home in New England\, where he earned a bachelor’s degree from the University of New Hampshire and a master’s in Resource Management from Antioch University New England. As Assistant Director of Public Works for the City of Keene\, NH\, Watson has seen firsthand the challenges and opportunities of modern recycling and waste management. \nFor more on Watson’s remarkable life and his new book\, follow him on Instagram and Facebook: @duncanwatsonstoryteller. \nFree Admission \nEnfield Shaker Museum is offering this program in collaboration with Enfield Public Library. This program will be held at the Library – 23 Main Street\, Enfield\, NH 03748
