A first discharging portion on the carrier storing container discharges the carrier toward the mixer, a collecting mechanism collects the carrier from the developing device into the carrier storing container, and a second discharging portion on the carrier storing container discharges the carrier toward a carrier collecting container configured to collect the carrier. The carrier collecting container is detachably mountable to the carrier storing container.
