In Germany sometimes yes, sometimes no, depends what legislation is apllied to the cause. This is not necessarily scientific sound, but a legal issue.
In Italy you have to classify the excavated soil according to the waste classification. Their disposal or reuse in construction depends on the risks connected to the classification. I ttach a cohompresive guide on Itlain legislation, I hope you can understand something by using google translate
Per il riutilizzo di terre e rocce da scavo ottenute quali sottoprodotti, si applica l’art. 186 del Decreto Legislativo 3 aprile 2006, n. 152, come modificato dal Decreto Legislativo 16 gennaio 2008 n. 4 e da eventuali ulteriori successive modificazioni e con l’avvenuta integrazione dell’art. 185 con l’entrata in vigore della Legge 28 gennaio 2009 n. 2, con le precisazioni ed i chiarimenti riportati nei successivi articoli.Le terre e rocce da scavo sono costituite da materiale che si origina dallo scavo di terreni vergini, dove sono assenti rifiuti (ad es. rifiuti da costruzione e demolizione, scorie ecc. ) o materiali di origine antropica.
Possono essere gestite come:
− Rifiuto (art. 183 comma 1 lett. a))
− Sottoprodotto (art. 186)
I find many times the reuse of excavated soil at or near the same site especially in house construction.
