The collection bottle is a container having an opening adapted to receive untransferred developer material and debris therethrough for storage within the container. The container is made of a conductive material. The conductive material is a carbon-doped plastic having a volume resistivity of less than 10 omhs cms with the carbon dopent being approximately 15-20% by weight. The container is coupled to electrical ground via an electrical tap, whereby static charge build-up is substantially prevented.
