Perris youth dedicates himself to recycling

The recycling project started four months ago, when 14-year-old Alex Copado was reading the packaging of Capri Sun drinks, a lunch-time favorite of students. Alex, a Perris resident who just finished his freshman year at Rancho Verde High School in Moreno Valley, had loved the drink since he was 10, but knew there were no recycling bins designed for containers, like there are for cans and bottles.
