Abstract

An apparatus for collecting dust and vacuum cleaner having the same are disclosed, by which airtightness is enhanced. The present invention includes a dust collecting container (210) collecting the dust by separating the dust from an introduced air, a dust collecting container cover (220) detachably assembled to one end of the dust collecting container (210) to open/close the dust collecting container (210), and a plurality of bending-preventing protrusions (223) provided to either the dust collecting container (210) or the dust collecting container cover (220) to enable the dust collecting container cover (220) to adhere closely to the dust collecting container (210).
