I never threw anything away. Just put into a box in the back of the closet.
For me though its kinda different, I've stayed friends with every single ex of mine, even with those that cheated on me or treated me like shit.
I guess I'm different because no matter what they put me through I always see why I origionally liked them, so even though I'd never go back to dating them, I've always remained friends. So the objects are kinda like old HS photos, you pull them out once a year or so, think back, smile, and get on with your life.
If you think destroying things will help you... go for it. Many of my friends never got over the girl until they threw out/destroyed everything their ex left, only you know whats best for you.
