Not sure you understand your responsibilities. It is your responsibility not to intrude onto your neighbor's property, ie., keep your trees, all it's limbs and potential debris off their property. It appears to me you will be stirring up a fight you won't win by complaining to them. Might discuss matter with them.

By intentionally throwing the cuttings on your side of the trees, your neighbor technically is trespassing. A nice note -- telling him that you're trying to be good neighbors and enjoying the relationship -- could go a long way to resolving the situation before it escalates. Keep a copy of the note.
