I bought a plastic, portable file box with secure lid that fits perfectly behind my passenger seat. (The box is 11-1/8"W x 14-7/8"D x 11-5/8"H.) The box allows me instant access to drop in receipts I need to keep, important papers, paycheck stubs, gadget chargers, a few office supplies, or whatever else I don't want cluttering up my truck but need close at hand or organized. I also have an awesome (and stylish) trash container with straps that attaches to the headrest posts of the passenger seat and hangs behind it. Both the file box and trash container are quickly relocatable if I will be carrying additional passengers. I drive a four-door Jeep Wrangler Sahara and have limited hidden storage options.

I have sisters who never throw anything away and it's disgusting; I always wind up the designated driver because I don't want to ride around in that! My trunk looks cluttered and could use a little organization. However, on a stuff level, it really only contains an emergency kit for the car, umbrellas, and the occasional oddbit that I acquire during the week and forget to take out.

I have two containers. Trunk items (My reusable shopping bags, a gallon of water, jumper cables, emergency blanket) and items I keep behind the drivers seat because I access them more often (window washer fluid, dust wipes and a few odds and ends I could probably cull from the container. The great thing about the container behind my seat is I have something that I can just pick up and put in the trunk if someone needs to sit in the seat behind me. I also hang a plastic shopping bag from my shifter for garbage. It's convient for me and if I have a passenger I can simply put it behind me or in the trunk. Also makes the garbage easier to throw away. No more of that sheepishly pushing clutter and trash into shopping bags or to another seat to make room for a passenger.

The one time I vacuumed out my car and got it washed the next day my attorney needed a ride somewhere and I couldn't believe how close I'd come to having him see a messy car.

If I recall correctly, the tissue box was not life threatening, but heavier things were. It's definitely food for thought. http://dsc.discovery.com/fansites/mythbusters/episode/00to49/episode-03.html The Discovery channel show Mythbusters covered loose items becoming projectiles during a crash in episode 37.
