An image forming apparatus includes an image bearing member, a first charging member for charging a residual developer on the image bearing member, a second charging member for charging the residual developer, an environmental condition detector, and a controller. The first charging member is disposed downstream of the transferring device and up stream of the charger, with respect to a movement direction of the image bearing member. A voltage having a polarity opposite to a polarity of the developer is applied to the first charging member. The second charging member is disposed downstream of the first charging member and upstream of the charger. A voltage having a polarity like a polarity of the developer is applied to the second charging member. The controller, in accordance with an output of the detector, controls at least one of the voltages applied to the first and second charging members.
