Ours goes into a shallow (2" sides) cardboard form-fitting box that fits perfectly on the floor behind the driver's seat. It has no where to go. We use it a lot and have had no dripping grease: a lot of carbon deposits-yes. That's why the box. A very few black crumbs inevitably rattle down to the cardboard on rough roads. It gets the once over after a few uses, mostly to clean the grill itself.
As far as storing anything on the floor of the TC, I am very covetous of our precious little floor space and only store something there as a last resort. Whatever you store there is always in the way. Always. At least on an 8' 6" Smalllance.
