Does simple evaporation concentrate the heavy metals?

It would do, but it would also lead to any volatiles being evaporated off with the water vapour.
There is an entire industry centred around the treatment of landfill leachate. You aren't the first to have tried this.

Yep, I've seen,
from the looks of it no one's got it quite right yet.

I enjoy thinking about things, and trying to solve problems.
The end result is secondary to the process. Think of it as a form of mental masturbation, I don't see any problem with it.

I wasn't trying to be mean, I think it's good that you're thinking about it
It's quite an interesting topic. A lot of the leachate is just recirculated within the landfill to keep the temperature down.
