The child was discovered after residents talking an evening stroll in the town of Cabezo de Torres in the Murcia region of Spain heard muffled sobs coming from a wheelie bin.
After removing several large rubbish bags they discovered the girl cowering inside. Local reports said she was “crying and sweating and showing panic in her face”.
Police located her parents, reportedly of North African origin, and they were arrested later Saturday evening and are now awaiting trial on suspicion of neglect.
The suspects have not been named and the girl, described as being “in perfect health”, is being cared for by social services.
The incident follows that in May in the nearby town of Alcantarilla when a Romanian couple approached four different women offering to sell their five-month old daughter for €5,000 (£4,450).
