Summary:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve the recycling property of a toner supplying container. SOLUTION: The toner supplying container consists of main components of a container main body 1 for housing toner and at least one rotary member 2 or 3 which is freely rotatably fitted in the container main body 1 and provided with the function of sending out the toner in the container 1. In such a case, openings 12 and 13 are formed in the end surface parts of the container 1 in the axial directions of the rotary center shafts 2a and 3a of the rotary members 2 and 3, covers 14 and 15 having bearings for the rotary members 2a and 3a are detachably attached to the openings 12 and 13 and the rotary members 2a and 3a are freely removed/inserted in their axial directions through the openings 12 and 13. The cover members 14 and 15 are removed to expose the openings 12 and 13 and the rotary members 2 and 3 are pulled out through the openings 12 and 13, so that the inner periphery of the container 1 and the rotary members 2 and 3 can be easily cleaned, to recycle the container 1 and the rotary members 2 and 3.
