Abstract
Apparatus for cleaning carrier and toner from surfaces in a copy machine or printer. Two independent cleaning stations are used to remove carrier and toner from different areas in the machine. The location and type of the cleaning stations are arranged so that particles cleaned by both stations are deposited in a common sump or container. The single container is removable by the machine operator to discard the carrier and toner cleaned by both cleaning stations.
