There's no need to worry if you're yard waste bags are still sitting at the curb.

The City of London says its leaf and yard waste materials collection program is experiencing a delay due to an increase in the number of bags placed out.

"The warm weather in late October caused more leaves to be bagged in a similar period which created a peak of materials in the last few weeks and requires additional time to collect," reads a statement from the city.

The statement goes on to say the third collection in Zone A for Byron, Westmount and Oakridge, is 95 per cent done and crews will head to Zone B, north and north central London, starting Tuesday.

Collection zones C and D will start as soon as B is done.

If pick up isn't happening quick enough for you, yard waste can also be taken to the EnviroDepot, free of charge.
