“We have planned to arrange the boxes with private partnership in 15 more places in the town,” said DySP M Ramesh Kumar.

Bottles disposed on the boxes will be collected by the panchayat authority and recycled at the centre in Adimaly.

The iron boxes were placed as part of the Munnar beautification project.
