has declared your house a hazardous waste site due to all the PCBs.
Is this a deliberate double-meaning of 'PCB' (PolyChlorinated Biphenyls
.vs. Printed Circuit Boards)? THe former are what the EPA moans about

particulalry hazardous...
But they are classed as "hazardous waste" in California, and a growing
number of other states.
