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.
