Short answer: A kitchen renovation produces stainless sinks, brass or chrome taps, copper pipe and wiring, steel and aluminium range hoods and ducting, old cooktops and ovens, a dishwasher and possibly a fridge, and the most useful items are the stainless steel sink, copper and brass plumbing and any appliance with a motor or large steel body, as long as hazardous parts are handled correctly.

A stainless sink is a worthwhile piece of scrap on its own.
Appliances
Ovens, cooktops and dishwashers are mostly steel, with some copper and aluminium.
Leave refrigerants alone
Fridges and freezers need licensed handling of their gas and should be left whole.
