An image forming apparatus includes an image carrier, a cleaner, and a toner container. The image carrier carries a toner image to be transferred onto a sheet. The cleaner collects toner remaining on a surface of the image carrier after the toner image formed on the image carrier is transferred onto the sheet. The toner container stores the toner collected by the cleaner. In the toner container, the rotating member is provided in the container containing the toner. A rotating shaft of the rotating member penetrates a wall of the container and extends to an outside of the container. The contact portion is provided in the wall of the container, and is slidably contacted by the rotating shaft. The seal member is provided on an outer surface of the wall of the container, and seals the contact portion.
