Basis of Presentation and Going Concern | 9 Months Ended | |

Sep. 30, 2016 | ||
| Basis Of Presentation And Going Concern [Abstract] | ||
| Basis Of Presentation And Going Concern Disclosure [Text Block] | Note 1. Basis of Presentation and Going Concern Nature of Operations -BioHiTech Global, Inc. (the “Company” or “BioHiTech”) through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, BioHiTech America, LLC, BioHiTech Europe Limited and Entsorga North America, LLC, (collectively “subsidiaries”) offers its customers cost-effective and technologically innovative advancements integrating technological, biological and mechanical engineering solutions for the control, reduction and / or reuse of organic waste. Basis of Presentation - The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. On January 20, 2016 the Company formed a wholly owned subsidiary, Entsorga North America, LLC (“ENA”). On February 29, 2016, through an amended limited liability agreement, ENA became a 31% equity owner of Apple Valley Waste Conversions, LLC (“AVWC”); an entity which has not previously had any business activities and was also 20.9% owned by the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, which combined represent a 51.9% controlling interest in ENA. Additionally, effective March 1, 2016, Entsorgafin, S.p.A, an Italian company with intellectual property rights related to large scale mechanical biological treatment (“MBT”) of municipal or regional waste, granted rights to the MBT intellectual property to AVWC for distribution 11 north and mid-Atlantic eastern states. Entsorgafin through a subsidiary, owns 6.2% of AVWC. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information. Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a comprehensive presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. It is management’s opinion, however, that the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of a normal recurring nature, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015, which contains the audited financial statements and notes thereto, for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 and are included within the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 29, 2016. The financial information as of December 31, 2015 presented herein is derived from the audited consolidated financial statements presented in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015. The interim results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2016 or for any future interim periods. Reclassifications to certain prior period amounts have been made to conform to current period presentation. These reclassifications have no effect on previously reported net loss. Going Concern - For the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company had a net loss of $4,970,741 and $5,001,452, respectively, incurred a consolidated loss from operations of $4,416,942 and $4,545,646, respectively and used net cash in consolidated operating activities of $3,657,747 and $3,170,427, respectively. At September 30, 2016, consolidated stockholders’ deficit amounted to $9,901,094 and the Company had a consolidated working capital deficit of $5,237,056. The Company does not yet have a history of financial stability. Historically, the principal source of liquidity has been the issuance of debt and equity securities. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. These condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on management's plans, which include further implementation of its business plan and continuing to raise funds through debt and/or equity raises. The Company is presently in the process of raising additional non-registered convertible debt and capital for general operations, as well as for investment in several strategic initiatives. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to raise sufficient debt or capital to sustain operations or to pursue other strategic initiatives. |

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | 9 Months Ended | |

Sep. 30, 2016 | ||
| Accounting Policies [Abstract] | ||
| Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block] | Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Use of Estimates - The preparation of consolidated financial statements, in conformity with GAAP, requires the extensive use of management’s estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Estimates are used when accounting for items and matters including, but not limited to, allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable, slow moving and excess inventory, asset valuations, including goodwill and intangibles, and useful lives, employee benefits, taxes and other provisions and contingencies. Product and Services Revenue Recognition - The Company recognizes revenue for the majority of its products sold upon transfer of title and the passage of the risk of ownership, which is generally upon shipment to the customer. Revenue from services, including environmental consulting, is recognized as services are performed. Lease Revenue Recognition - The Company recognizes revenue from the rental of the Company’s Eco-Safe Digester units ratably on a monthly basis over the term of the lease, as it has determined that the rental agreements entered into in connection with its Eco Safe Digester units qualify as operating leases, for which the Company is the operating lessor. Deferred Financing Costs - Financing costs related to the issuance of long-term debt are deferred and included in prepaid expenses and other current assets or in non-current assets prior to the issuance of such debt. Deferred financing costs relating to issued debt are included as a reduction to the applicable debt and amortized as interest expense over the term of the related debt instruments. Financial Instruments, Convertible Instruments, Warrants and Derivatives - The Company reviews its convertible instruments for the existence of embedded conversion features which may require bifurcation. If certain criteria are met, the bifurcated derivative financial instrument is required to be recorded at fair value and adjusted to market at each reporting period end date. The Company also reviews and re-assesses, at each reporting date, any common stock purchase warrants and other freestanding derivative financial instruments and classifies them on the consolidated balance sheet as equity, assets or liabilities based upon the nature of the instruments. Comprehensive Income (Loss) - Comprehensive income (loss) for the Company consists of net earnings (loss) and foreign currency translation. Income Taxes - Deferred income taxes are determined based on the estimated future tax effects of differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities given provisions of enacted laws. Deferred income tax provisions and benefits are based on changes to the asset or liabilities from year to year. In providing for deferred taxes, the Company considers tax regulations of the jurisdictions in which it operates, estimates the future taxable income and available tax planning strategies. If tax regulations, operating results or the ability to implement tax planning and strategies vary, adjustments to the carrying value of deferred tax assets and liabilities may be required. Valuation allowances are recorded related to deferred tax assets based on the “more than likely” criteria. The Company recognizes the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more likely than not threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority. For the nine and three months ended September 30, 2016, the Company’s effective rate, before valuations, was 36.7% and would have resulted in net deferred tax assets for federal and state tax purposes arising primarily from net operating losses; A full valuation allowance due to the level of uncertainty relative to the realization of the deferred tax assets has been provided resulting in an effective tax rate of 0.0%. Income Taxes - Pro Forma C Corporation Presentation - As a result of the Swift Start Reverse Merger (Note 3), the Company’s results of operations are taxed as a C Corporation. Prior to the merger, the Company’s operations were taxed as a limited liability company, whereby the Company elected to be taxed as a partnership and income or loss was required to be reported by each respective member on their separate income tax returns. Therefore, no provision for income taxes has been provided in the accompanying financial statements for periods prior to August 6, 2015. Stock-Based Compensation - The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, “Compensation - Stock Compensation.” ASC 718 requires generally that all equity awards be accounted for at their “fair value.” This fair value is measured on the grant date for stock-settled awards. Fair value is equal to the underlying value of the stock for “full-value” awards such as restricted stock and performance shares, and is estimated using an option-pricing model with traditional inputs for “appreciation” awards such as stock options and stock appreciation rights. Costs equal to these fair values are recognized as expense ratably over the requisite service period based on the number of awards that are expected to vest, or in the period of grant for awards that vest immediately and have no future service condition. For awards that vest over time, cumulative adjustments in later periods are recorded to the extent actual forfeitures differ from the Company’s initial estimates; previously recognized compensation cost is reversed if the service or performance conditions are not satisfied and the award is forfeited. The expense resulting from share-based payments is recorded in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations based upon the classification of the underlying employees with a corresponding increase to additional paid in capital. Subsequent modifications to outstanding awards result in incremental cost if the fair value is increased as a result of the modification. Thus, a value-for-value stock option repricing or exchange of awards in conjunction with an equity restructuring does not result in additional compensation cost. |

Acquisitions and Disposals | 9 Months Ended | |

| Business Combinations [Abstract] | ||
| Mergers, Acquisitions and Dispositions Disclosures [Text Block] | Note 3. Acquisitions and Disposals Swift Start Reverse Merger - On August 6, 2015, the Company (formerly known as Swift Start Corp.) executed an Agreement of Merger and Plan of Reorganization with BioHiTech America, LLC (“BHTA”) and BioHiTech Global, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Acquisition”), pursuant to which Acquisition merged with and into BHTA in a reverse merger (the “Merger”), with BHTA surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. As consideration for the Merger, the Company issued the interest holders of BHTA an aggregate of 6,975,000 shares of its common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), in accordance with their pro rata ownership of BHTA’s membership interests. In connection with the Merger, the Company’s interest holders retired and canceled an aggregate of 8,515,000 shares of its common stock. Following the consummation of the Merger, the issuance of the 6,975,000 shares of common stock to BHTA’s interest holders and the retirement of the 8,515,000 shares of common stock, the Company had 7,500,000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, with the former BHTA interest holders beneficially owning approximately 93% of such issued and outstanding shares of common stock. The Company also amended its Certificate of Incorporation to (i) change its name to BioHiTech Global, Inc. and (ii) to amend the number of its authorized shares of capital stock from 200,000,000 to 30,000,000 shares, of which 20,000,000 shares were designated common stock, par value $0.0001 per share and 10,000,000 shares were designated “blank check” preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share. The Merger was accounted for as a reverse business combination. Under this method of accounting, the Company was treated as the acquiring company for financial reporting purposes. The net liabilities of Swift Start are stated at fair value, while the assets and liabilities of the Company are recognized at their historical basis. Pursuant to the reverse business combination, the Company has restated its consolidated statements of stockholders’ deficiency on a recapitalization basis, so that all accounts are now presented as if the reverse business combination had occurred at the beginning of the earliest period presented. The operating results for Swift Start are included in the consolidated financial statements from the effective date of the reverse business combination of August 6, 2015 and have not have a material impact on the financial statements. The $10,500 of net assets and fair value of Swift Start were immaterial as of the merger and in addition to recognizing $18 of cash acquired, $10,482 was initially recognized as goodwill based upon historical stock acquisition prices of Swift Start. As part of management’s evaluation of goodwill as of December 31, 2015, it was determined that the goodwill did not have a continuing value to the Company and it was written off as an impairment charge. Supplemental pro forma information has not been presented because the effect of the acquisition was deminimus to the Company’s consolidated financial results. Sale of QTags Operations - On May 29, 2015, the Company consummated the sale of its QTags operations to CBI Mobile (Bahamas) Ltd. (“CBI Mobile”) for an aggregate sales price of $290,000 plus certain accounts receivable, less certain deferred revenue. CBI Mobile also acquired the developed technology, customer and client contracts and customer lists associated with QTags. CBI Mobile paid the Company $75,000 cash at closing and the balance of $215,000 in the form of a promissory note (“Secured Promissory Note”). The Secured Promissory Note originally bore interest at 9.5% per annum and had a maturity of May 29, 2016. CBI Mobile defaulted on the Secured Promissory Note and subsequently entered into a forbearance agreement extending the maturity date to November 29, 2016, increasing the interest rate to 15%, and requiring monthly principal repayments. As of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the balance outstanding on the Secured Promissory Note amounted to $58,550 and $110,011, respectively, has been included as a component of Accounts and Note Receivable and has been considered by the Company in establishing its allowance for doubtful accounts. |

| Debt Disclosure [Text Block] | Note 11. Line of Credit, Notes Payable, Advance, Promissory Note, Convertible Promissory Notes and Long Term Debt Notes, lines, advances and long term debts are comprised of the following:
Line of Credit - The Company has a revolving line of credit with a bank which provides for aggregate borrowings of up to $2,500,000. The line of credit is due on demand and bears interest at the prime rate plus 3% (4.0% at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015), which is recorded as a component of interest expense. The line of credit is secured by the Company's assets, is personally guaranteed by certain stockholders of the Company and does not contain any financial covenants. The line of credit also provides for letters of credit aggregating $250,000. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016 there were no outstanding letters of credit. Notes Payable - During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company entered into two unsecured promissory notes, which do not contain any financial covenants. As of September 30, 2016, each of the notes have a remaining balance outstanding of $100,000 with interest at the rate of 10.0% and maturite in July and September 2017, respectively. Series A Unsecured Subordinated Convertible Promissory Notes – During 2016, the Company entered into a series of Securities Purchase Agreements (the “Purchase Agreement”) with certain accredited investors (the “Investors”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell and the Investors agreed to purchase in a private placement offering (the “Private Placement”) units (the “Units”) in the aggregate offering amount of $3,400,000, of which $2,250,000 was with related parties. Each Unit is comprised of a convertible promissory note and warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock. Each note bears interest at the rate of 8% per annum and is due on the earlier of: (i) 24 months (February 10, 2018); (ii) the date the common stock is listed on The Nasdaq stock market or NYSE MKT; or (iii) a “Change of Control” of the Company, which is defined as a liquidation, dissolution, winding up, change in voting control or sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets. Each note sold is convertible into shares of Common Stock equal to the outstanding principal amount under the note, plus any accrued and unpaid interest, divided by a conversion price (the “Conversion Price”) equal to the lowest of: (i) the trading price on the date of the listing; (ii) the price per share paid by investors in a subsequent underwritten public offering in connection with the listing; (iii) the lowest price paid by investors in a subsequent offering of the Company’s securities; (iv) the per share price in a change of control transaction; or (v) $3.75 per share. Prior to maturity, an investor may elect, at its option and in its sole discretion, to convert all or a portion of the outstanding principal amount under the note, plus any accrued and unpaid interest, into shares of Common Stock at a conversion price equal to $3.75 per share. The warrants are exercisable for a period of five years into shares of common stock equal to the number of shares of common stock into which the notes are convertible at an exercise price equal to 120% of the conversion price of the notes. The embedded conversion feature and warrants issued in the transaction are not indexed to the Company’s common stock. However, the embedded conversion feature and warrants did not meet the definition of a derivative and therefore such conversion feature was not bifurcated from the underlying note payable and the warrants were not recorded as a derivative liability. As of September 30, 2016, the balance of the outstanding notes amounted to $3,400,000 and is presented net of unamortized deferred offering costs of $110,154, resulting from deferred offering costs of $165,230 less $55,076 of accumulated amortization. These costs are being amortized as a component of interest expenses over the original 24-month terms of the notes, unless there is an early maturity. Interest expense on the notes is due at the maturity of the notes and has been presented as a non-current liability. Series V Subordinated Convertible Promissory Note – During 2016, the Company entered into a series of convertible promissory notes. Each note bears interest at the rate of 8% per annum and is due on the earlier of: (i) 24 months (February 10, 2018); (ii) the date the common stock is listed on The Nasdaq stock market or NYSE MKT; or (iii) a “Change of Control” of the Company, which is defined as a liquidation, dissolution, winding up, change in voting control or sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets. Each note sold is convertible into shares of Common Stock equal to the outstanding principal amount under the note, plus any accrued and unpaid interest, divided by a conversion price (the “Conversion Price”) equal to the lowest of: (i) the trading price on the date of the listing; (ii) the price per share paid by investors in a subsequent underwritten public offering in connection with the listing; (iii) the lowest price paid by investors in a subsequent offering of the Registrant’s securities; (iv) the per share price in a change of control transaction; or (v) $3.75 per share. Prior to maturity, an investor may elect, at its option and in its sole discretion, to convert all or a portion of the outstanding principal amount under the note, plus any accrued and unpaid interest, into shares of common stock at a conversion price equal to $3.75 per share. Long term debt - Represents two loans collateralized by vehicles with interest ranging from 1.9% to 4.98%. Amortizing principal payment requirements as of September 30, 2016 are as follow:
Interest Expense - All interest on the Company’s various debts are recognized as interest expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Equity Transactions | 9 Months Ended | |

| Shareholders' Equity and Share-based Payments [Text Block] | Note 12. Equity Transactions Maxim Warrants - In connection with the issuance of the Units described in Note 11, the Company agreed to issue warrants to Maxim Group LLC, the placement agent, that are exercisable into 10% of the total number of shares of common stock that the notes are convertible under the notes at an exercise price of $3.75 per share. The warrants expire 5 years from the date of issuance of the underlying notes. The unsecured subordinated convertible promissory notes contain conversion features that are required to be measured when the contingency is resolved. The terms of the conversion feature in the notes, and hence the Maxim Warrants, do not permit the Company to compute the number of common shares that the note holders will receive upon conversion. Accordingly, the Company must wait until the contingent event occurs to compute the number of shares that may be issued pursuant to the warrants. Barksdale Warrants - In connection with an Offering of BHTA in October 2013 of Class B Common Interests BHTA agreed to issue Barksdale Global Holdings, LLC (“Barksdale”) warrants to purchase a number of Class B Common Interests of BHTA, as now converted into Common Stock of the Company. The warrants were subsequently issued on June 30, 2015, whereby Barksdale was issued a warrant to purchase up to $140,000 of BHTA’s Class B Common Interests on or before the expiration date of June 30, 2020. The warrant is exercisable during the period commencing upon the consummation of the Company’s next successive equity raise in which the Company receives gross proceeds of a minimum of $5.0 million (“Qualified Financing”). If the Company does not consummate a Qualified Financing prior to the expiration date, the warrant shall never be exercisable. Notwithstanding the forgoing, Barksdale may not exercise the warrant within 12 months of the consummation date of the Merger. The Company estimated the fair value of the warrant on the measurement date to be $14,182 (or $10,744 per warrant) using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions: (1) expected volatility of 50.24%, (2) risk-free interest rate of 1.42% and (3) expected life of five years. During 2015, as a result of the issuance of the warrants, the Company reclassified the warrant liability to stockholders’ deficit. Other Warrants - In connection with prior debt offerings that have been converted into equity, warrants expiring between May and July of 2020 representing an $80,000 purchase equity interest remain outstanding. The warrants allow the holders to acquire up to $80,000 of the Company’s common stock at a price of 120% of the closing price of the Company’s first issuance of equity in one, or a series of related transactions, through which the Company receives gross process of $5,000,000 or more from one or more financial institutions or “accredited investors,” as defined by the Securities Act of 1933. Should the Company not consummate such an issuance of equity by the expiration of the warrants, the warrants shall never be exercisable Strategic Consulting Agreement – During 2016, the Company entered into a strategic consulting agreement with Tusk Ventures LLC for a twelve-month term, with a sixty-day termination option by either party, at any time. In the event of a termination, fees are due through the last day of services following the termination notice. The contract includes issuing convertible debt in the amount of $25,000 per month that is on substantially the same terms as the Series A Unsecured Subordinated Convertible Promissory Notes. Following a mandatory conversion event, the agreement provides for issuing Common Stock amounting to $25,000 per month based on a thirty-day trailing average price. |

| Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Text Block] | Note 13. Equity Incentive Plans During 2015, the Company established the BioHiTech Global, Inc. 2015 Equity Incentive Plan, which is available to eligible employees, directors, consultants and advisors of the Company and its affiliates. The plan allows for the granting of incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, reload options, stock appreciation rights, and restricted stock representing up to 750,000 shares. The Plan is administered by the board of directors. Effective March 1, 2016, the Company granted nonqualified options for 371,250 shares. Effective April 15, 2016, the Company granted 347,500 restricted stock units. As of September 30, 2016, there were 31,250 shares available under the Plan for future grants. Stock Options - The fair value of options is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The valuation determined by the Black-Scholes pricing model is affected by the Company’s stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of highly complex and subjective variables. These variables include, but are not limited to, expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards, and actual and projected employee stock option exercise behaviors. The risk free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury rate for the expected life at the time of grant, volatility is based on the average long-term implied volatilities of peer companies, the expected life is based on the estimated average of the life of options using the simplified method, and forfeitures are estimated on the date of grant based on certain historical data. The Company utilizes the simplified method to determine the expected life of its options due to insufficient exercise activity during recent years as a basis from which to estimate future exercise patterns. The expected dividend assumption is based on the Company’s history and expectation of dividend payouts. Forfeitures are required to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. On March 1, 2016, the Company granted 371,250 stock options to employees and directors for future services. These options had a fair value of $520,210 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:
The options vest over four years. During the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2016, compensation expense related to the stock options amounted to $34,790 and $209,655, respectively. The weighted-average grant date fair value of options granted on March 1, 2016 was $520,210. Total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested stock options at September 30, 2016 amounts to $295,375 and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.5 years. The following table summarizes the Company’s stock option activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2016:
The following table summarizes the Company’s stock option activity for non-vested options for the nine months ended September 30, 2016:
Restricted Stock Units – On April 15, 2016, the Company granted 347,500 restricted stock units (“RSU”) to certain employees. 15,833 of the RSUs vested immediately and the remaining units vest over a three-year period, subject to continued service on each applicable vesting date. The RSUs have no voting or dividend rights. The fair value of the common stock on the date of the grant was $4.05 per share based upon the quoted closing price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date. The aggregate grant date fair value of the award amounts to $1,408,167 which will be recognized as compensation expense over the vesting period. As of September 30, 2016, the aggregate intrinsic value of the unvested RSUs was $1,061,334. During the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2016, compensation expense related to the RSUs amounted to $126,895 and 302,663, respectively. Total unrecognized compensation expense related to the unvested RSUs at September 30, 2016 amounts to $1,105,504 and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.5 years.

| New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Abstract] | ||
| New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Text Block] | Note 17. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Statement of Cash Flows – In August 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (“ASU 2016-15”). The update amends the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification 230, Statement of Cash Flows, and clarifies how entities should classify certain cash receipts and cash payments on the statement of cash flows with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice related to eight specific cash flow issues. The amendments in this update are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2016-15 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. Revenue from Contracts with Customers - In April 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-10, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers - Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing” (Topic 606). The amendments clarify two aspects of ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” by providing (1) guidance for identifying performance obligations and (2) licensing implementation guidance. Public business entities should apply the guidance similar to Update 2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. Earlier application is permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (ASU 2014-09). ASU 2014-09 provides guidance for revenue recognition and affects any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets and supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, “Revenue Recognition,” and most industry-specific guidance. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is the recognition of revenue when a company transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 defines a five-step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, companies will need to use more judgment and make more estimates than under the current guidance. These may include identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation. ASU 2014-09, as amended, is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods therein, using either of the following transition methods: (i) a full retrospective approach reflecting the application of the standard in each prior reporting period with the option to elect certain practical expedients, or (ii) a retrospective approach with the cumulative effect of initially adopting ASU 2014-09 recognized at the date of adoption (which includes additional footnote disclosures). The Company does not anticipate that the adoption, by means of a retrospective approach with a cumulative effect, if any, will have a material effect on its consolidated financial position or results of operations. Stock Compensation - In March 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, “Compensation - Stock Compensation: Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting” (Topic 718). The amendments in this ASU is to significantly reduce the complexity and cost of accounting for excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies related to employee share-based payment transactions, which include restricted stock and stock options. Also, ASU No. 2016-09 requires an entity to run excess tax benefits and deficiencies through its income statement, which in effect eliminates the concept of additional paid-in capital. For public business entities, the amendments in this ASU are effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those annual periods. The Company will evaluate the effects, if any, that adoption of this ASU will have on its consolidated financial position or results of operations. Leases - In February 2016, the FASB issued new lease accounting guidance (ASU No. 2016-02, Leases). Under the new guidance, at the commencement date, lessees will be required to recognize a lease liability, which is a lessee‘s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and a right-of use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. The new guidance is not applicable for leases with a term of 12 months or less. Lessor accounting is largely unchanged. Public business entities should apply the amendments in ASU 2016-02 for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted upon issuance. Lessees (for capital and operating leases) and lessors (for sales-type, direct financing, and operating leases) must apply a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. The modified retrospective approach would not require any transition accounting for leases that expired before the earliest comparative period presented. Lessees and lessors may not apply a full retrospective transition approach. The Company will evaluate the effects, if any, that adoption of this ASU will have on its consolidated financial position or results of operations. Inventory - In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, “Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory” (“ASU 2015-11”). ASU 2015-11 requires inventory measured using any method other than last-in, first out (“LIFO”) or the retail inventory method to be subsequently measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value, rather than at the lower of cost or market. This ASU is effective prospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016 and their related interim periods. Early application is permitted. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption will have a material effect on its consolidated financial position or results of operations. |

| Subsequent Events [Text Block] | Note 18. Subsequent Events The Company evaluates subsequent events and transactions that occur after the balance sheet date up to the date that the financial statements are available to be issued. Any material events that occur between the balance sheet date and the date that the financial statements were available for issuance are disclosed as subsequent events, while the financial statements are adjusted to reflect any conditions that existed at the balance sheet date. Based upon this review, except as discussed below, the Company did not identify any recognized or non-recognized subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements. Issuance of Additional Series V Subordinated Convertible Promissory Notes – Subsequent to September 30, 2016, the Company issued an additional $50,000 in Series V Subordinated Convertible Promissory Notes (Note 11) in connection with a strategic consulting agreement (Note 12). The Company also issued a $300,000 Series V Subordinated Convertible Promissory Note to BioHiTech International, a company owned by Chun-Il Koh, a BioHiTech shareholder, in payment of previously incurred and accrued invoices for services and inventory. Advance from Related Parties – Subsequent to September 30, 2016, the Chief Executive Officer advanced the Company additional working capital funds of $300,000 which are due on demand and carry an interest rate of 13%. Note Payable – Related Party – Subsequent to September 30, 2016 a related party increased their $100,000 note payable from the Company by an advance of $175,000, which was added to the balance, bears interest at 10% and is due in September 2017. |

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies) | 9 Months Ended | |
|---|---|---|
Sep. 30, 2016 | ||
| Accounting Policies [Abstract] | ||
| Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Use of Estimates - The preparation of consolidated financial statements, in conformity with GAAP, requires the extensive use of management’s estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Estimates are used when accounting for items and matters including, but not limited to, allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable, slow moving and excess inventory, asset valuations, including goodwill and intangibles, and useful lives, employee benefits, taxes and other provisions and contingencies. | |
| Revenue Recognition, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Product and Services Revenue Recognition - The Company recognizes revenue for the majority of its products sold upon transfer of title and the passage of the risk of ownership, which is generally upon shipment to the customer. Revenue from services, including environmental consulting, is recognized as services are performed. | |
| Revenue Recognition Leases [Policy Text Block] | Lease Revenue Recognition - The Company recognizes revenue from the rental of the Company’s Eco-Safe Digester units ratably on a monthly basis over the term of the lease, as it has determined that the rental agreements entered into in connection with its Eco Safe Digester units qualify as operating leases, for which the Company is the operating lessor. | |
| Deferred Offering Costs [Policy Text Block] | Deferred Financing Costs - Financing costs related to the issuance of long-term debt are deferred and included in prepaid expenses and other current assets or in non-current assets prior to the issuance of such debt. Deferred financing costs relating to issued debt are included as a reduction to the applicable debt and amortized as interest expense over the term of the related debt instruments. | |
| Fair Value of Financial Instruments, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Financial Instruments, Convertible Instruments, Warrants and Derivatives - The Company reviews its convertible instruments for the existence of embedded conversion features which may require bifurcation. If certain criteria are met, the bifurcated derivative financial instrument is required to be recorded at fair value and adjusted to market at each reporting period end date. The Company also reviews and re-assesses, at each reporting date, any common stock purchase warrants and other freestanding derivative financial instruments and classifies them on the consolidated balance sheet as equity, assets or liabilities based upon the nature of the instruments. | |
| Comprehensive Income, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Comprehensive Income (Loss) - Comprehensive income (loss) for the Company consists of net earnings (loss) and foreign currency translation. | |
| Income Tax, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Income Taxes - Deferred income taxes are determined based on the estimated future tax effects of differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities given provisions of enacted laws. Deferred income tax provisions and benefits are based on changes to the asset or liabilities from year to year. In providing for deferred taxes, the Company considers tax regulations of the jurisdictions in which it operates, estimates the future taxable income and available tax planning strategies. If tax regulations, operating results or the ability to implement tax planning and strategies vary, adjustments to the carrying value of deferred tax assets and liabilities may be required. Valuation allowances are recorded related to deferred tax assets based on the “more than likely” criteria. The Company recognizes the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more likely than not threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority. For the nine and three months ended September 30, 2016, the Company’s effective rate, before valuations, was 36.7% and would have resulted in net deferred tax assets for federal and state tax purposes arising primarily from net operating losses; A full valuation allowance due to the level of uncertainty relative to the realization of the deferred tax assets has been provided resulting in an effective tax rate of 0.0%. Income Taxes - Pro Forma C Corporation Presentation - As a result of the Swift Start Reverse Merger (Note 3), the Company’s results of operations are taxed as a C Corporation. Prior to the merger, the Company’s operations were taxed as a limited liability company, whereby the Company elected to be taxed as a partnership and income or loss was required to be reported by each respective member on their separate income tax returns. Therefore, no provision for income taxes has been provided in the accompanying financial statements for periods prior to August 6, 2015. | |
| Share-based Compensation, Option and Incentive Plans Policy [Policy Text Block] | Stock-Based Compensation - The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, “Compensation - Stock Compensation.” ASC 718 requires generally that all equity awards be accounted for at their “fair value.” This fair value is measured on the grant date for stock-settled awards. Fair value is equal to the underlying value of the stock for “full-value” awards such as restricted stock and performance shares, and is estimated using an option-pricing model with traditional inputs for “appreciation” awards such as stock options and stock appreciation rights. Costs equal to these fair values are recognized as expense ratably over the requisite service period based on the number of awards that are expected to vest, or in the period of grant for awards that vest immediately and have no future service condition. For awards that vest over time, cumulative adjustments in later periods are recorded to the extent actual forfeitures differ from the Company’s initial estimates; previously recognized compensation cost is reversed if the service or performance conditions are not satisfied and the award is forfeited. The expense resulting from share-based payments is recorded in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations based upon the classification of the underlying employees with a corresponding increase to additional paid in capital. Subsequent modifications to outstanding awards result in incremental cost if the fair value is increased as a result of the modification. Thus, a value-for-value stock option repricing or exchange of awards in conjunction with an equity restructuring does not result in additional compensation cost. |
