Christmas is officially here, which means more rubbish than ever with hoards of wrapping paper, boxes, and empty food wrappers taking over houses. 

Plus with bins not being emptied less frequently over the festive period you wouldn't be alone in visiting your local tip. 

But if you do plan on visiting the tip you'll need to check the Christmas opening times, to make sure they're open to use.

We've broken down each of the different Sout East London regions so that you can see when your local tip is open.

News Shopper: Make sure to check before you visit your local tip. (Canva)Make sure to check before you visit your local tip. (Canva)
