Abstract: This study assessed the levels of heavy metals (Mn, Cr, Pb, Cd, and Fe) in two dumpsites and control in Surakarta. Specific soil properties and the level of metals in dumpsite soil samples and crops were also considered. Standard techniques were employed in the appraisal and atomic absorption spectrophotometer (Buck Scientific model 210) for the metal concentration analysis. The level of each metal was detected low in the control site compared to the dumpsites which prove that there had been an anthropogenic contribution of heavy metal through the disposal of wastes contained or made of heavy metals. The crops in the two sites and control had Cr, Cd, and Pb occurring below the detection limit. All the concentrations of metals studied in soil and crops were found to be lower than the maximum permissible limit of heavy metal in soil and crops stated by the World Health Organization (WHO) which implies that the crops are presently safe for human consumption. The higher concentration of metals in the dumpsite and their crops more than the control site shows that there is gradual pollution of heavy metals in the crops and implies that there is a need to avoid consuming crops grown on these sites and discourage the use of the sites for any form farming activities.
