washing waste prior to landfilling


Explanation:
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!

As pointed out, "transporting waste prior to landfilling" may be a better translation in this context.

neutral  Ana Vozone: (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!

washing residues to landfill


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

tailings to earthfill


Explanation:
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....

Example sentence(s):
  • IATE: pt tanques de lavagem (resíduos *minerais*) CdT en tailings pond CdT + resíduos de lavagem e limpeza de minérios CdT en *waste from washing* and cleaning of minerals CdT en tailings pump COM pt bomba de resíduos
  • A tailings dam is typically an *earth-fill* embankment dam used to store byproducts of mining operations after separating the ore from the gangue.
