Xerographic apparatus comprises a photoreceptor drum (10); a drum cleaning means (15); a waste toner container (32) for storing waste toner; and a waste toner conveying means (20,22,23) for conveying waste toner cleaned off said photoreceptor drum (10) by said cleaning means (15) into said waste toner container (32) characterized in that the waste toner container (30) is positioned in the interior (21) of the photoreceptor drum (10) and is reversably removable therefrom. The conveying means typically includes a flexible helical wire (20) which acts as an auger. Once filled with waste toner, the waste toner container (30) is removed from the drum (10) and is replaced by a fresh container.
