It's not clear how the data are, now.  What are the classes? Are they numbers? 

Let's make something up.  Is this what you have and want?

y <- c(rep("0-10", 5), rep("11-20", 10), rep("21-30", 15))

y <- as.ordered(y)
y <- as.numeric(y)
y[y == 1] <- 5
y[y == 2] <- 15.5
y[y == 3] <- 25.5
boxplot(y)

?
