A decoloring apparatus includes a conveyance path, a paper feeding part, a reading part, a communication part, a decoloring part and a control part. The conveyance path conveys a sheet to respective parts in the apparatus. The paper feeding part feeds a sheet on which an image is formed by a decolorable colorant to the conveyance path from a sheet stack part. The reading part is provided downstream of the paper feeding part in the conveyance path and reads the image of the sheet. The communication part transmits read image data of a preceding sheet to a management apparatus communicably connected to the decoloring apparatus and receives a determination result of a conveyance destination of the preceding sheet obtained by the management apparatus based on the image data. The decoloring part is provided downstream of the reading part in the conveyance path and erases the image of the sheet. After the communication part receives the determination result of the conveyance destination of the preceding sheet obtained by the management apparatus, the control part conveys the preceding sheet subjected to reading to the determined conveyance destination, and reads an image of a subsequent sheet by the reading part so that a leading edge of the subsequent sheet does not collide with a trailing edge of the preceding sheet.
