To provide a waste liquid recovery mechanism which can secure an amount of a stored waste liquid and achieve downsizing.SOLUTION: A waste liquid recovery mechanism of a liquid discharge device includes: a waste liquid recovery container 9 which stores a waste liquid discharged from a liquid discharge head; and a discharge part 14 having a discharge port 15a for discharging the waste liquid to the waste liquid recovery container 9. The waste liquid recovery container 9 can be attached to or detached from a body of the liquid discharge device. The discharge part 14 can move between a position where the discharge port communicates with a liquid introduction port 13 of the waste liquid recovery container 9 attached to the body of the liquid discharge device and a position at the outer side of a moving path of the waste liquid recovery container 9 in loading operation.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 5 【課題】廃液の収容量の確保と小型化とを両立できる廃液回収機構を提供する。【解決手段】液体吐出装置の廃液回収機構が、液体吐出ヘッドから吐出された廃液を収容する廃液回収容器９と、廃液を前記廃液回収容器９に排出する排出口１５ａを有する排出部１４と、を含む。廃液回収容器９は、液体吐出装置の本体に対して着脱可能である。排出部１４は、液体吐出装置の本体に装着された廃液回収容器９の液体導入口１３に排出口が連通する位置と、装着動作における廃液回収容器９の移動経路の外側の位置との間で移動可能である。【選択図】図５
