A waste toner collecting device and an image forming apparatus having the same include a photosensitive body on which an electrostatic latent image is formed, a developing unit which supplies a toner to the photosensitive body to form a visible image, a transfer unit which transfers the visible image formed on the photosensitive body onto a printing medium, and a waste toner collecting device which collects waste toners removed from the photosensitive body and not being transferred onto the printing medium. The waste toner collecting device includes a housing which has a collecting space to accommodate the waste toners, a waste toner distribution plate which is shakably mounted in the collecting space to receive the waste toners introduced into the collecting space and evenly disperse the waste toners in the collecting space, and a shaking device which shakes the waste toner distribution plate. Accordingly, since the waste toners are not concentrated on a specific portion in the collecting space and evenly dispersed in the overall collecting space, a waste toner collecting efficiency of the waste toner collecting device is increased.
