Short answer: A bathroom renovation commonly produces copper and brass pipe and fittings, brass taps and mixers, a steel or cast iron bath, chrome and stainless accessories, aluminium shower frames and sometimes a hot water system, so the most valuable pieces are the copper, brass and any cast iron, and they are worth setting aside before everything goes into a skip.

List Free →Pipes and fittings
Copper and brass plumbing is the most valuable metal in a bathroom and is easy to separate.
Baths and basins
Steel and cast iron baths are heavy and worth selling as metal, while ceramic basins are not.
Frames and fittings
Aluminium frames and chrome fittings are worth keeping separate from the general waste.
