Legally, once the trees are over their side of the fence, they are their responsibility to trim if thats what they want. They also have to dispose of the trimmings appropriately - which does not include throwing them over your fence! At least that was the law in the council my parents live in - remember not all local councils operate the same way. If the law is they have to return them, then they should have asked you where you wanted them put, rather than just throwing them back over the fence - what if you had pets like chooks or something and it had've injured them?
I'd just pop something in the mail box or go over and have a chat, saying if they want the tree's trimmed before they get onto their property to ask, as opposed to throwing the trimmings over the fence, or if you have a garden sac, just let them know they can put them in there.
