A developer reservoir is detachably attached to an image forming apparatus and holds developer discharged from a developer discharging section of the image forming apparatus. The developer reservoir includes a developer inlet, a developer chamber, and a transport mechanism. The developer inlet receives the developer discharged from the developer discharging section. The developer chamber holds the developer delivered through the developer inlet. The transport mechanism takes the form of a screw conveyor that transports the developer from the developer inlet into the developer chamber. The developer-transporting member serves as a partition that divides the waste toner reservoir into the toner inlet and the toner chamber so that the developer is prevented from moving straight from the developer inlet into the developer chamber.
