Welcome to West Lakeland Township West Lakeland is an urban township organized in July of 1950 and is located along the St. Croix River in east central Washington County. We are located off of the north side of the I-94 corridor. We are a decentralized community with a unique lifestyle enjoyed by our residents. Living in West Lakeland Township allows the area residents to enjoy the benefits of a rural community close to an urban center, without costly public services. Older homes, characteristic of the St. Croix Valley, still remain in the area. The residents and farms of our Township, and neighboring communities, have contributed much to the unobstructed lifestyle of the Township which we enjoy today.

On July 9th and 10th, West Lakeland Township will be collaborating with Ramsey/Washington Recycling & Energy and Washington County to offer a mattress recycling collection by Second Chance Recycling. This special event will be a curbside pickup at a reduced rate of $15 per item. This program is for West Lakeland residents only. Advance registration and electronic payment are required and will be available online 7-10 days prior to the event at this link. While on their website, you can read about their unique recycling approach which benefits both the environment and the community. Registered residents will be responsible for placing mattresses, box springs and/or crib mattresses at the end of their own driveway on their chosen date.

It's that simple! ____________________________ 2025 Street Improvements Project West Lakeland Township awarded a contract to Minnesota Paving and Materials for the 2025 Street Improvements Project, covering more than 8 miles of roadway, with most work completed last fall.
