A milling bit is disclosed for debris collection within a wellbore. A check valve can be part of a debris removal tool that includes a motor, a pump, a gearbox, a bailer, the milling bit, and rotational shafts. In an example, on its uphole end, the milling bit can be coupled with the check valve. On its downhole end, the milling bit can be configured for debris removal with cutting edges. The downhole end can also include openings that provide access to an internal cavity of the milling bit. The internal cavity can extend the entire length of the milling bit. This allows the pump to pull drilling fluid into the bailers through the milling bit and check valve. As a result, the debris removal tool can simultaneously remove obstructions in a wellbore and collect debris from the obstruction removal.
