Doug Mockett 6" Diameter Black Trash Grommet 1"H, - TM1-90

A Black Trash Grommet For Dark Countertop Surfaces

This Doug Mockett TM1-90 countertop trash grommet drops into a 6-inch bore hole cut in a countertop or work surface, finishing the opening with a clean black plastic liner that guides scraps and waste into a bin below.

Key Features

• Black plastic construction blends with dark laminate, matte black stone-look, and similarly finished countertop surfaces.
• 6-inch bore diameter fits a standard 6-inch countertop cutout without additional sizing.
• 6-3/4-inch flange diameter overlaps the bore edge to hold the liner in place and cover the cut.
• 5-7/8-inch inside diameter provides a clear opening for scraps, peels, and food waste to pass through.
• 1-inch liner depth keeps the grommet low-profile in the countertop.

Finishing a Countertop Cutout for Waste Access

A raw 6-inch bore hole in a countertop is an unfinished edge that can chip, catch debris, and look rough in an otherwise clean surface. This grommet liner drops into the cut to sleeve the opening, so the hole looks intentional and the edge is protected. Waste and food scraps pass through the 5-7/8-inch inside opening directly into a bin positioned below the counter, keeping the work surface clear without interrupting the workflow of a busy prep station or kitchen island.

The low-profile 1-inch depth means the grommet sits flush rather than projecting above or well below the surface, which suits countertops of standard thickness.

Material and Finish

The liner is plastic in a Black finish. Black is the right call for countertops where a chrome or light-colored grommet would read as a visual interruption, including dark granite-look laminate, matte black solid surface, and espresso-stained wood work surfaces. The flange diameter of 6-3/4 inches overlaps the bore just enough to seat cleanly against the surface without leaving a wide, visible rim.

Where It Fits

This grommet suits kitchen islands, prep counters, and cabinet work surfaces where a concealed-trash setup makes the workflow cleaner. It is a practical fit for custom cabinetry shops finishing a client's kitchen with coordinated dark hardware, and for designers specifying grommets that disappear into a dark countertop rather than contrast with it. Because the required bore is a standard 6-inch cut, it also works as a straightforward replacement when an existing grommet in a matching opening needs to be swapped out. The bin positioned below is sold separately; this SKU is the liner only.
