The apparatus includes an image carrier, a developing device, a cleaning device that removes a waste toner on the image carrier, a developer supply device that supplies a developer to the developing device, a developer discharging device that discharges an excess developer from the developing device, and a developer containing device. The developer containing device includes an opening facing the developer supply device, a developer storing section that stores the developer supplied to the developer supply device through the opening, and a waste developer storing section that stores the excess developer and waste toner. The developer containing device is detachably attached to the main body of the image forming apparatus, and when the developer containing device is detached from the main body for replacement, the waste developer storing section is detached from the main body together with the developer containing device.
