Here are the top three stories in Smyrna-Vinings today:

1. Smyrna's Robin Rodgers has been reunited with his stolen trailer. The Raleigh Police Department recovered the trailer on Monday with most of the art still intact. Rodgers made the drive to North Carolina to recover the trailer. The trailer was filled with about 60 pieces of art he had the intention of selling at Cary's Lazy Daze Arts and Crafts Festival. (CBS17)
2. Cobb County residents can submit waste management questions and complaints prior to the work session meeting today. The Cobb Civic Center is hosting the meeting at 2:00 p.m. Residents can email questions and comments to trashcomplaints@cobbcounty.org before the start of the meeting. (Cobb County Courier)
3. Cobb County health officials are reportedly waiting for guidance from the Biden Administration regarding COVID-19 vaccine payment methods. The federal government has been covering costs associated with COVID-19 vaccines, treatments, and tests throughout the pandemic but it is planning to stop the policy. The administration is considering a transition to a standard commercial health care model. Health officials are worried this will add an extra barrier to vaccine distribution. (WRDW.com)
