Old comercial copy machines are full of useful shafts, gears, motors, springs, switches, wire...
Motors and controllers from tread mills
People build spot welders using old microwave oven transformers
 
Steel car rims can be cut in half and mounted to various things for coiled water hose storage, or in the shop for OxyAcet hose sets or extension cords. I've seen the wall mounted and on pipes or posts in the middle of the yard for water hoses.
 
old pallets can be a great source of wood to make boxes. storage bins, and tables!
