As a part of a research program on geotechnical problems involved in waste disposal, a sanitary. landfill has been instrumented in Meruelo, in the region of Cantabria, Spain. It is in a valley, with an initial retaining dyke whose height is increased by the "upstream" method up to a final value of 50 in. At present, the records of three years of monitoring are available, and they are analysed in this paper. They include surface settlements in points with different thickness of waste (up to 16 m.) and horizontal and vertical movements of the front slope for stability assessment.
