OTHER ITEMS AND CHARGES	OTHER ITEMS AND CHARGES Expense from Acquisition Activities In the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, we recorded charges of $7,836 and $12,847, respectively, and in the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, we recorded charges of $3,677 and $6,540, respectively, comprised primarily of legal, consulting, rebranding and other costs associated with the due diligence, acquisition and integration of acquired businesses. The three and six months ended June 30, 2024 included a charge for an increase in the reserve against accounts receivable of the businesses acquired in the GFL Acquisition as a result of our inability to pursue collections during the transition services period with the seller, resulting in accounts receivable aged beyond what is typical in our business. Legal settlement In the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, we recorded a charge of $6,150 due to reaching an agreement at a mediation held on June 20, 2023 with the collective class members of a class action lawsuit relating to certain claims under the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 as well as state wage and hours laws. The settlement agreement was executed July 24, 2023 and has received court approval.
