The waste collection workers were on Avenida Perez Galdos in Castellon when they made the gruesome find on Sunday at around 5am.
They spotted the corpse when they had tipped over the waste container to dump its contents into the truck.
They stopped the compression system that processes the rubbish and contacted the police.
The Police Nacional have been taking statements from several witnesses who were in the area- which was very busy.
That was because the near-by Ribalta park had been hosting several free open air concerts into the early hours of Sunday morning.
The outcome of a forensic report is awaited by investigators.
