Checked October 16, 2026: Colleton County's Recycling & Convenience Centers page (paint taken only when hardened; donate liquid paint to a Habitat resale store; no commercial or out-of-county waste) and Landfill page (hardened paint, 500 pounds a month free, rates, hours), SC DES's Colleton County locations page (15 centers, hours, phones), SC DES's paint guidance, the City of Walterboro Public Works page, Charleston County's hazardous materials page (residents only), and PaintCare's locator data (South Carolina is not a program state; listings for Colleton say only solidified paint). Unresolved: we found no Colleton County hazardous waste event or oil-based paint option; we found no Habitat for Humanity ReStore in Colleton County; the county's center page was last updated in 2022, so hours come from SC DES; Walterboro's own pages don't mention paint; PaintCare's Colleton listings are the only source that repeats the hardened-paint rule for each center. Peer review Oct 16, 2026: three centers (Beltline, Green Pond, Cottageville) open seven days a week, per SC DES; a fresh search found no Habitat ReStore paint policy for Colleton County.
