A closer inspection reveals them to be two heavy metal loops, presumably those used by the building's window cleaners to attach their materials to the roof.
Note that she didn't throw them, she accidentally kicked them off. In the original script it was a bottle but I'm guessing the filmmakers struggled to explain why there was a bottle sitting on the roof edge whereas "random roof stuff" makes more sense.
