Loss from Termination of Bridge Financing In the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, we wrote-off the unamortized debt issuance costs and recognized a loss from termination of bridge financing upon the extinguishment of both a secured bridge financing agreement in connection with the GFL Acquisition of $3,718 and $3,718, respectively, and an unsecured bridge financing agreement in connection with entering into an asset purchase agreement with Consolidated Waste Services, LLC and its affiliates (dba as Twin Bridges) of $4,480 and $4,480, respectively. Cash Flow Hedges Our strategy to reduce exposure to interest rate risk involves entering into interest rate derivative agreements to hedge against adverse movements in interest rates related to the variable rate portion of our long-term debt. We have designated these derivative instruments as highly effective cash flow hedges, and therefore the change in their fair value is recorded in stockholders’ equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax and included in interest expense at the same time as interest expense is affected by the hedged transactions. Differences paid or received over the life of the agreements are recorded as additions to or reductions of interest expense on the underlying debt and included in cash flows from operating activities. As of both June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had $515,000 notional amount of active interest rate derivative agreements outstanding. These agreements mature between February 2026 and June 2028 and provide that we receive interest based on Term SOFR, restricted by a 0.0% floor, and pay interest at a weighted average rate of approximately 3.6%. A summary of the effect of cash flow hedges related to derivative instruments on the consolidated balance sheets follows:
|  |  | Fair Value
