No, the put-away part makes your sentence confusing and hard to understand.

Kind of, we would say:
"Could you put this away?" If the object in question was obvious. OR "Could you put away?" if you want to be more specific. Putting the object in question in the blank space.
If you were talking about clothing for the second one, we'd probably say:
"Can you please try this _ on?"

@1953Silvertone Thanks a lot I really appreciate your help. I meant “lay-away” but I had it confused with put-away I don’t know why. It’s very nice of you to help me out.
