Any place a bucket can be kept where it’s likely to be within reach should suffice. The bucket doesn’t necessarily need to be dedicated for the purpose of the capturing, and subsequent immediate disposal of puke, since it will ostensibly get cleaned after each puke (but this depends upon the puker.)

One may have the chance to preemptively stage the puke bucket if the signals of an inbound puke are such that prestaging becomes feasible.

It is worth noting that even the most optimal placement of the puke bucket does not guarantee it’s purpose being adequately fulfilled, as the potentially suddenly violent nature of the puke may altogether prevent any use of the bucket at all.

Hope that clears up some things!

~It should be noted that past successes of the puke bucket do not guarantee future performance.~
