Claim:
A cleaning device comprising: a blade-shaped first scraping member that scrapes off a developer on a surface of a moving belt that circularly moves; a blade-shaped second scraping member that is disposed downstream from the first scraping member in a moving direction of the moving belt and is oriented in a plane parallel to the first scraping member, and that scrapes off residuals remaining on the surface of the moving belt; a container comprising: a first housing portion that houses the developer scraped off by the first scraping member, as a recovered material; and a second housing portion that houses the residuals scraped off by the second scraping member; a discharge port that is disposed in the first housing portion, wherein the developer in the first housing portion is discharged to an outside of the container through the discharge port; and a conveying member that conveys the recovered material housed in the first housing portion to the discharge port; wherein a partitioning member that partitions the container into the first housing portion and the second housing portion is disposed in the container at a position below both of a position where the first scraping member contacts with the moving belt and a position where the second scraping member contacts with the moving belt.
