Summary:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a waste toner recovery container that can recover a waste toner uniformly and entirely into the container without providing a plurality of conveying members inside the container, and an image forming apparatus.SOLUTION: A waste toner recovery container is formed such that when a distance in the depth direction from the rotation center of a conveying screw 32 (conveying member) to an end on the depth side in the depth direction (leading end wall part 31f) at a horizontal bottom part 31b (bottom part) and an inclined ceiling part 31d is A, a distance in the height direction from the upper end to the horizontal bottom part 31b of the conveying screw 32 is B, and the angle of repose of a waste toner T is , A=B/tan is satisfied. 【課題】容器内に複数の搬送部材を内設することなく、容器内において廃トナーを全体的に満遍なく回収することができる、廃トナー回収容器、及び、画像形成装置を提供する。【解決手段】搬送スクリュ３２（搬送部材）の回転中心から水平底部３１ｂ（底部）及び傾斜天井部３１ｄにおける奥行方向奥側の端部（先端壁部３１ｆ）までの奥行方向の距離をＡとして、搬送スクリュ３２の上端から水平底部３１ｂまでの高さ方向の距離をＢとして、廃トナーＴの安息角を としたときに、Ａ＝Ｂ／ｔａｎ なる関係が成立するように形成している。【選択図】図８
