Thumbs down Remove items, but not going to wait much more after that.

Depending on the object and wheter or not they would pose a threat to the players on the court I would stop play until the culprits are removed. Say they were throwing BB's or something that could cause a player to slip and fall. By not stopping the game until the culprits are tossed you have let the game preceeed in a dangerous environment and open yourself up for potential problems.
You remove the items. You then play. The game management should be on the look out for the area it came from. But I would not wait until they are tossed before we continue. Not at all. And if they have to consult some tape, then that is not my concern either. It is going to take some time to remove any items on the floor to begin with. But I am not going to wait 5 minutes after the stuff is removed to wait for them to eject a fan, who probably is a kid in the stands that is associated with the school.

Peace
