PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide structure for recovering a toner container by which toner is prevented from dropping and splashing when a toner container is removed from an image forming device. SOLUTION: When the used toner container 4 is taken out from an image forming device main body 1 by opening a cover member 2, the outer-side end (front end) of a bag 3 being the toner container recovery body is picked with fingers and drawn outside in advance. Since the inner-side end (back end) of the bag 3 is locked to the main body 1, the bag 3 is opened and an aperture part 3a is formed at the upper surface thereof. Since the aperture part 3a is larger than the area of the container 4, the container 4 drawn out in such a state can be recovered to the inside of the bag 3 from the aperture part 3a. At this time, even when the residual toner drops down from the container 4, it is recovered to the inside of the bag 3 and it does not drop down toward a floor. |
