The trio have been convicted by the courts after leaving the mess in the gardens of their homes.
Denise Burke, 54, of Lawrence Avenue in South Shields, was fined £220, ordered to pay costs of £100 and a victim surcharge of £30 for failing to comply with a Community Protection Notice requiring her to clear her gardens of discarded material and debris.
The notice, which was the first to be prosecuted in South Tyneside under the Anti-Social Behaviour Crime and Policing Act 2014, also required her to cut grass and other vegetation to ground level and dispose of all waste at a registered waste disposal facility.
