Metal
The best way to get scrap metal is to find Industrial metal pieces, since they salvage into so much and are fairly common. The best way to find them is by checking the trash / recycling, desks, and lockers, or in a few set locations (see page).

Wood
A great zone for collecting wood giving items is Mazon College due to the large amount of chairs. The same applies for the Sacramento Public Library in the South district of the Sacramento Suburbs. Another great source is logs, which can be found searching the trash/recycling, desks, and shelves.

Tools
Since every map has at least one rake and shovel somewhere, they are the easiest items to find, although they are often poor quality.
Good zones for salvageable tool items are:
Bodega Bay - the house in the north west most corner of the map has 2 hammers, a crowbar, and an abstract sculpture.
Mall - the construction area (next to toy room, north of golf course) has 2 hammers, 2 shovels, and some other items.

Precious Ore
Precious ore, as it's name suggests, is one of the rarer resources in the game, as the items it belongs to are either rare of have a low chance of giving ore.
The best source of precious ore is Jewelry; while it has no 100% locations, it's a semi uncommon item found in normal containers such as trash/recycling, desks, shelves, boxes, and lockers. While they don't give ore reliably, Dumbbells are a decent source of ore as they have set locations in various zones making them farmable. Kukri aren't terribly uncommon to find in containers, so these are also a good source when found (always give 1 ore), and Trophies can be found fairly easily (especially in the lockers).

Electronic Component
One of the best sources of electronic components are screens, as they are many zones where they are found in groups, and not many items give more components per item. The best zones for screens are the college (main building), Santa Rosa (near "office" secret passage), and the mall (in a computer cafe south west of spawn).
