As long as they get spayed or neutered as well. We did this in our neighborhood (the shelters were styrofoam covered in thick, UV resistant plastic). With the help of a local shelter, we trapped, fixed and released about 8 stray cats in the neighborhood. They don't reproduce and they don't allow new strays to come into the territory.
It's the best way to go.
My neighbor's big orange tom wasn't too happy he spent a night in a trap, though. Man, he was pissed at me before I let him out the next morning.
