What do you guys think about using a large plasitc garbage can as a pipe adapter ?

I had to put a culvert under my driveway. I used 24 inch pipe, and I am necking down to 12 " at a later junction down the line . I have 300 some yards and two legs of pipe to run still
I just called to get a big Fernco, or pipe adapter and wholly cow... $389.00 for a plastic adapter, but the bad part is, I can't get it till next week. I was going to dig this weekend
There would never be any weight , or traffic , passing over it, with the exception of my lawn tractors, and I have lots of gravel to protect it . It is also at least 18 Inches under ground.
I have a real nice super sturdy plastic recycling can here at the shop that is tough as nails, and has a perfect sized opening at just over 24 ". I was going to wrap a huge hose clamp around the big side, and cut a hole in the bottom of the can to accept the smaller pipe.
Think it'll work? Any other good ideas?
