Watson is the Assistant Director of Public Works in Keene, where he has worked for 32 years. His book won a 2024 NH Book Festival Award and a coveted star review from Booklist.

Watson’s stories bring the “dump” to life through vivid characters and anecdotes while also touching on his time as the voice of Charlie Brown, a yoga teacher, and a storyteller.

“His skill as a recycling and waste professional is only surpassed by his ability to share heartfelt stories of humanity,” says Mike Durfor, former executive director for the Northeast Recovery Association.

Using stark statistics and relatable humor, “Everyone’s Trash” redefines everyday waste by paving the way for dramatically increasing our recyclables.

Bestselling author Sy Montgomery said about the book:
“It’s about way more than recycling and trash. It’s a poignant x-ray of a small city’s soul—and a testament to the power of connection, compassion, and community.”
