Then one day, they realized that there was no reason for them to keep storing mannequins that they were not going to use.

So that is when they called Mannequin Madness to recycle the mannequins. We provide this service to retailers to keep them from throwing their unwanted mannequins in the landfill.

This is a classic case of a win/win situation. Their unwanted mannequins will be sold or rented to others, often to businesses or non-profits who could normally afford to buy a brand new version of this type of mannequin.
