My reading was that he threw the objects aside

Outside of the mirror's reflection, and into the real world. It probably be devastating to the government / long-standing enchantments on Britain if the Line of Merlin Unbroken were broken, and Harry will miss out on set bonuses if he doesn't get the Elder Wand.

I've reconsidered. This remains the interpretation I consider most likely, but the secondary interpretation is that Dumbledore is storing them in the mirror so that Harry can retrieve them.
