Apparatus for removing toner from a charge-retentive surface and collecting the toner in a receptacle for subsequent disposal thereof. This apparatus is characterized by the provision of structure for minimizing bridging or packing of toner in the flights of an auger forming a part of the removal and collection system as disclosed in the specification. The toner anti-bridging structure provides for imparting vibratory motion directly to the auger. To this end the anti-bridging structure includes a pendulum which is caused to periodically bang into the auger to create vibrations in the auger structure.
