PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce the problem of detection of waste powder in an unintentional state in detection of a storage state of the waste powder.SOLUTION: A waste toner recovery container 100 of the present invention has: a waste toner storage chamber that stores a waste toner discharged from an image forming unit; a second blade part 155 of an auger 150 that is driven to be rotated to convey the waste toner from the waste toner storage container filled with the waste toner; and an opening 181 that passes the waste toner conveyed from the waste toner storage chamber by the second blade part 155. The waste toner recovery container 100 further includes: a detection chamber 130 that stores the waste toner falls from the opening 181; a part to be detected 110 that is provided inside the detection chamber 130 to face a detection sensor Sr so as to allow the detection sensor Sr to detect the presence of the waste toner stored inside the detection chamber 130; and a toner reception part 131 that is provided above the part to be detected 110 inside the detection chamber 130, and receives the waste toner falls from the opening 181. |
