Often times they may be too overcrowded to take in new cats so I would check other shelters in your area (sometimes called second chance shelters). They should provide you with the cages and means to capture the cats who have claimed your territory as their own. As strange as this sounds you might want to try a watergun as well. You can shoot a watergun through the screen at the fighting cats. I would water them down with hose or watergun as much and as often as you can. Cats will go to another house/vacant area that is less troublesome to them. Definitely call the animal shelter in your area.

Or, you could go to animal control and get a cat trap. Bait it with a little cat food and you'll catch them one by one. Take the full trap to the pound and exchange it for an empty one. In a little while you'll no longer have a problem. You'll have to get lids for those garbage cans, though, or new cats will constantly come calling.

You might get garbage cans that have locking lids (a latch on them the cats can't open.) Are they ferral cats? If so, the kindest thing for the whole animal population is to call animal control and have them put down. They breed and breed, and produce more cats that will all have very short lives - hit by cars, diseases, etc. They’re looking for food.
