It is perfectly clear in
the case of a disused quarry. It is still a quarry. But it is no longer
in use. In a few cases it may have a new purpose, but it is still a
quarry in any normal sense.
No, if there there no more mining, exploitation or landfill activities, the
former quarry is a geological outcrop at best.
FWIW, the OED definition is quite careful on this point:
quarry 1. a. A surface excavation from which stone for use in building
and construction is or has been extracted by cutting, blasting, or other
means; a place where the rock has been, or is being, removed to be used.
