washing waste prior to landfilling
I think this is a good translation for this as well. Considering the context, I believe translating "resíduos" as "waste" may be more appropriate.
I hope it helps!

: (Transportar) os resíduos da lavagem. Não é "Lavar os resíduos".

Acredito que "washing" também possa significar transportar neste contexto, devido a ser um tanque de óleo, mas realmente acho que "transport" teria deixado o significado da tradução um pouco mais claro. Obrigada pela explicação!

: Transportar is not part of the question. I'm sure the asker knows how to translate it.

washing residues to landfill
This may seem like a minor point, but these are not residues that have been washed. They are the result of washing the tank.

Portuguese term (edited):
resíduos da lavagem à aterro
tailings to earthfill
The second example sentence seems to bear out Mario F's earthfill vs. favelas-scavenger landfill idea.
'What are tailings? In oil sands mining, tailings are what remain after the oil has been removed from the ore that was mined out of the ground.' Query: out of the oil tanks.
There's no need to comment on this answer without a thorough knowledge of geology....

You can use "embankment" if you don't want to use earthfill.
