The Trinity Street Factory had convenient canal links for disposing of its toxic waste. The sites at The Gower Tip and at Rattlechain were the end of the line. Alfred Matty boats transported the cargo by narrowboat, as seen above, and it is known that the entire route they took polluted the canal on the way there.  An account of this towards the end of the process can be read HERE. The legacy of waste led to one of those transporting the white phosphorus contaminated waste as “a place in which nothing could live.”
