What will it cost?

The cost varies depending on:

• the type of subscription (standard or small):

a standard subscription is suitable for a family of four and a small subscription is suitable for two adults sharing.

• whether you choose to do the 'WorkShift' option

we ask people with standard subscriptions to carry out 3 workshifts during the course of their subscription year, and people with small subscriptions would be expected to carry out 2 workshifts. The workshifts are 3 hours each, so it's not a huge commitment. If you decide to do the WorkShifts you will receive a discount of £21.00 per shift from your subscription cost (the discounts are included in the figures below).

• how you pay for your subscription

you can pay for your annual subscription by cheque in advance (this is the cheapest option) or you can pay by monthly standing order. Whichever way you pay, we ask that you make an commitment to EarthShare for a full year.

• which pickup point you use to collect your box

there is a small surcharge for use of the pickup point near Elgin to cover the cost to EarthShare of transporting boxes and storing them near Elgin (but it is still cheaper for you than driving through to Forres or Findhorn each week).
