Answer 1

The need for garbage collectors and sanitation workers in the United States was primarily caused by **Urbanization**. As cities grew rapidly due to industrialization and migration, the population density increased, leading to significant waste management challenges. This created a need for organized sanitation services to manage garbage and maintain public health in densely populated urban areas.
