PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a waste liquid container which can be made compact while reducing the cost by using in common the waste liquid throw-in port and decreasing the number of components, and to provide a maintenance and restoration device and an image forming apparatus. SOLUTION: In the waste liquid container, a suction member having a density dependent on the state of waste liquid discharged from one waste liquid throw-in port is provided in each region where the waste liquid drips or the suction member is not provided depending on the state of the waste liquid. Since the waste liquid throw-in port is made in common and can be distinguished in one space depending on the state of the waste liquid discharged, the waste liquid container can be made compact while reducing the cost.
